"Here is how Robert Drew described finding Eddie Sachs: "At the Indianapolis race track I heard a driver telling how he turned a corner. He spoke with such passion that it raised hairs on the back of my neck." Drew Associates' cameras stuck with Sachs for both the 1960 and 1961 Indianapolis 500; both years Eddie drove faster than any other qualifier, earning the "pole" position at the start of each race. The filming of those races became a sensation in filmmaking circles. - Jill Drew, daughter-in-law of Robert Drew and General Manager of Drew Associates"
