Pete Romcevich
Pete Romcevich was a Serbian-American racecar driver. He was born Slavko Romčević to a Serbian family in the small village of Stipan near Lasinja, Croatia in what was then the Kingdom of Yugoslavija. Romcevich arrived to the United States in 1922 as a 16-year old, joining his brother, Gjuro Romčević who emigrated and arrived in the United States first. George saved money and sent for Pete. Romcevich had a successful midget car racing career and fabricated racing cars at his Speedway Garage in Roby, Indiana. He qualified and raced in the 1947 Indianapolis 500 driving a car owned by Anthony "Andy" Granatelli and attempted to qualify again in one of Granatelli's cars before a crash during qualifying. He was killed in a midget race at the Michigan State Fairgrounds Speedway in Detroit when his car went out of control.
