Leland "Lee" Wallard (September 7, 1910 - November 29, 1963) was an American racing driver who won the 1951 Indianapolis 500. In a race that saw only eight cars finish, Wallard led 159 of the 200 laps, despite driving a car that was turned down by Tony Bettenhausen in practice. During the race, the car suffered from overheating brakes and broken exhaust pipes and shock absorber. Wallard was also the first driver to ever finish the race in less than four hours. Wallard died of a heart attack at age 53.
