On May 30, 1964, Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald died as a result of injuries at the 500. Eddie was born here in the Lehigh Valley (Allentown) and is buried in Holy Saviour Cemetery in Bethlehem. Standing at his gravesite you can feel the history surrounding the man and the events of that fateful day in 1964. A checkered flag and a small race car serve as tributes at his gravesite.
