From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe Boyer (May 12, 1890 - September 2, 1924) was a co-winner of the 1924 Indianapolis 500.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Joe Boyer led the last 24 laps of the 1924 race in relief of L. L. Corum. He replaced Corum on lap 111, despite the fact that it required him to be relieved in his own car, which completed 176 laps. He died in a crash during a race at Altoona Speedway in Tyrone, Pennsylvania later that year.
