MarshallTeague, a Daytona Beach resident, was one of NASCAR's first stars and pioneers In just twenty-three career starts, Marshall captured 2 poles and seven victories in his "Fabulous" Hudson Hornet.
Teague not only twice drove well enough to qualify for the famed Indianapolis 500, where he finished seventh in 1957 and 18th in 1953, he had the distinct versatility to also race stock cars.
Teague made the grueling trip from his home in Daytona Beach, Fla., and according to one account of the 150-mile race, took the lead in a 1951 Fabulous Hudson Hornet on Lap 81 from Fonty Flock and led the remainder of the 150-lap race.
Teague echoed Humphries's remarks about the door to the cockpit, saying that it could easily be kicked in, pried open, or even broken open with a shoulder.
Marshall also advocated arming pilots and placing Air Marshals on planes, pointing out that there is only minimal risk of "frangible bullets" penetrating the shell of a plane.
Teague added that we make ourselves more vulnerable to terrorist attacks by not training flight attendants in self-defense, and by failing to be trained ourselves.
