But the company failed, and he went bankrupt in 1927. But he immediately bought the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and he made it into a huge success. He later had much involvement with Eastern Airlines, and in 1941, he survived a plane crash that landed on the ground, and the following year, he was in a plane crash at sea, and he was on a life raft for 21 days before he was rescued.
