Biography
Marshall Teague was born in Daytona Beach on 22 February 1921. He raced in NASCAR, where fans called him the "King of the Beach" for his performances on the Daytona Beach Road Course. Between 1949 and 1952 he contested 23 Grand National Series races and won seven of them. In 1951 and 1952 he was part of the Hudson team, driving the Hudson Hornet. In 1953 he left NASCAR after a falling-out with its founder, Bill France Sr., and moved to the AAA and USAC championships.
The Indianapolis 500 counted towards the Formula 1 World Championship from 1950 to 1960. Teague started it in 1953, 1954 and 1957, each time in a Kurtis Kraft. That gave him three World Championship starts, without scoring any points.
On 11 February 1959 Teague was killed at the newly opened Daytona International Speedway. He was testing the streamlined Sumar Special there, aiming to beat the closed-circuit speed record, and was also preparing for the 1959 USAC season. In 2014 he was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
