Race career

Other than a good finish in the Indy 500, Fohr had a dismal 1950 season, failing to qualify several times. His last Champ Car appearances came in 1951 when he failed to qualify for both the Indy 500 and the following race at the Milwaukee Mile.

Fohr also won a number of

AAA-sanctioned stock car feature races at his hometown track, the Milwaukee Mile.[2]
