On lap 112, he relieved L. L. Corum in the No. 15 car, and went on to finish first. While both Boyer and Corum were recognized as co-winners - the first of two such occasions in Indianapolis 500 history - the winner's points went to Corum, who started and qualified the No. 15 car. Note 2: Drivers had to be running at the finish to score points. Points scored by drivers sharing a ride were split according to percentage of race driven. Starters were not allowed to score points as relief drivers, if a race starter finished the race in another car, in a points scoring position, those points were awarded to the driver who had started the car.
