At the time, the car was being refueled (with gasoline). In a nearby garage, another car which was owned by Joel Thorne was being worked on with a <a href="/wiki/Welding" title="Welding">welder</a>. The fumes caught fire from the sparks of the welding, and a huge fire broke out which burned down about a third of the southern bank of garages. The start of the race was delayed by a couple hours, and fire fighters had trouble getting to the Speedway to put out the blaze due to the heavy race day traffic. Barringer's car was withdrawn, and he was credited with 32nd finishing position. With both Sam Hanks and Barringer out, the race lined up with only 31 cars. </p><p>Various equipment, tools, parts, and other supplies were lost in the fire. Two cars that did not qualify for the race were reported to have been damaged. However, all of the other cars that qualified for the race were safely evacuated. No major injuries were reported. The fire was put out, but the site smoldered throughout the day, and smoke continued to rise even after the race had safely started. </p><p>About a month later, the entire garage complex was demolished. At some point during summer and fall of 1941, a new Gasoline Alley was built in it place.<sup id="cite_ref-Star07-02-1941_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Star07-02-1941-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Star02-03-1946_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Star02-03-1946-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, it would sit unused until 1946. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wilbur_Shaw">Wilbur Shaw</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1941_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Wilbur Shaw"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Two-time defending champion (and three-time winner overall) <a href="/wiki/Wilbur_Shaw" title="Wilbur Shaw">Wilbur Shaw</a> crashed while leading on lap 152, and failed in his bid to become the first driver to <a href="/wiki/Three-peat" title="Three-peat">three-peat</a> at the Indianapolis 500 (and first four-time winner).
