George Amick
George R. "Little George" Amick (October 24, 1924, Vernonia, Oregon – April 4, 1959, Daytona Beach, Florida) was an American racecar driver, mainly competing in the American National Championship. He was killed in a crash in a USAC race at Daytona International Speedway.〔
==Racing career==
Amick served in World War II.〔 He began racing in jalopies in the Northwestern United States before switching to midget car racing.〔 He competed in USAC National midgets for three seasons, finishing in the top ten points each season, and won 16 feature races.〔 He totaled 38 wins including the 1957 Turkey Night Grand Prix.〔
He moved to Indy cars and won three times in 43 starts.〔 In his rookie appearance at the Indianapolis 500 in 1958, Amick was assigned a "lay-down" roadster commissioned by car owner Norm Demler, designed by Quinn Epperly, and built by master Indianapolis chief mechanic George Salih. Amick found himself running a comfortable second to leader Jimmy Bryan with just 20 laps remaining. Demler and Salih felt Amick was in a position to catch Bryan and perhaps even win, but decided against pushing their rookie driver into a potentially fatal mistake, and Amick came home an easy second.
