Answer: Jimmy Gronen

In 1973, the 14-year old Gronen, who won all his heat races by a large margin, was found to have his tires soaked in a chemical which provided less grip on the Akron, Ohio race course which created more speed. After officials made him change the tires, he still won the finals race by a huge margin. Later, x-rays of the car by race officials found that he had an electromagnetic device in the nose cone of the car, which pulled him forward faster.

After being stripped of the title two days later, Bret Yarborough was declared the official winner. An engineer named Robert Lange who designed the derby car was indicted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and paid a huge fine. The photo is of Nascar champion Jimmie Johnson.
