John Shakespeare (c. 1531 – 7 September 1601) was the father of William Shakespeare. He was the son of Richard Shakespeare of Snitterfield, a farmer. He moved to Stratford-upon-Avon and married Mary Arden, with whom he had eight children, five of whom survived into adulthood. A well-to-do glover and whittawer (leather worker) by trade, Shakespeare was a dealer in hides and wool, and was elected to several municipal offices, serving as an alderman and culminating in a term as bailiff, the chief magistrate of the town council, before he fell on hard times for reasons unknown to historians. His fortunes later revived after the success of his son, and he was granted a coat of arms five years before his death, probably at the instigation and expense of his playwright son.
Career and municipal responsibilities
John Shakespeare moved to Stratford-upon-Avon in 1551, where he became a successful businessman involved in several related occupations. From 1556 to 1592, several official records identify him as a glovemaker, which was probably his primary trade, as tradition remembers him as following that trade even into his old age, but the records of his real estate purchases and legal expenses indicate an income much higher than that of a small-town tradesman. The administration of his father's estate in 1561 names him as a farmer. He inherited and leased agricultural lands and is on record as selling timber and barley. Court records also document him as a "brogger", an unlicensed—and therefore illegal—wool dealer. In addition, he bought and leased out houses. He was twice taken to court for violating the usury laws that prohibited charging interest higher than the legal limit of 10 percent.
The 69th Indianapolis 500 was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 26, 1985. In one of the most dramatic moments in Indy 500 history, Danny Sullivan took the lead from Mario Andretti on lap 120. But as he was completing the pass, Sullivan's car stepped out, and he lost control. He spun directly in front of Andretti in turn one, doing a complete 360°. Andretti veered to the left and slipped by unscathed, while Sullivan's car somehow avoided contact with the concrete wall. Sullivan continued in the race, and about twenty laps later, managed to re-pass Andretti for good. Sullivan led the final 61 laps, and scored his lone Indy victory, driving for Penske.
Due to the electrifying spin by Sullivan, and the subsequent recovery, the race became known in auto racing lore as the "Spin and Win". It is largely considered one of the most famous moments in all of Indy car racing history.

1985 Indianapolis 500 | Official Full-Race Broadcast | The 'Spin and Win'
The 1985 Indianapolis 500 took place on Sunday, May 26, 1985 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 69th Running of the Indianapolis 500 was host to one of the most famous wins in Indy 500 history. Spin and Win: 1:16:48 | Race Finish: 2:12:40
As Danny Sullivan went to pass racing-legend Mario Andretti for the lead on lap 120, Sullivan's car went below the white line and subsequently spun coming out of the turn. Sullivan managed to save the car with no damage and go on to pass Andretti for the lead and ultimately win the race.
The 1985 Indianapolis 500 became known as the "Spin and Win" and is considered as one of the Indianapolis 500's most famous racing moments.

But Sullivan will be forever remembered for one lap, one moment, in which he took the lead for just a brief second before losing it.
Sullivan stalked leader Mario Andretti just past the halfway point of the race, trying to find the speed and the proper line to seize the top spot for the second time that day. Sullivan’s No. 5 Miller American March/Cosworth pulled to the inside and even with Andretti’s No. 3 Beatrice Foods Lola/Cosworth as the two cars crossed the Yard of Bricks to start Lap 120.

John Shakespeare (c. 1531 – 7 September 1601) was the father of William Shakespeare. He was the son of Richard Shakespeare of Snitterfield, a farmer. He moved to Stratford-upon-Avon and married Mary Arden, with whom he had eight children, five of whom survived into adulthood. A well-to-do glover and whittawer (leather worker) by trade, Shakespeare was a dealer in hides and wool, and was elected to several municipal offices, serving as an alderman and culminating in a term as bailiff, the chief magistrate of the town council, before he fell on hard times for reasons unknown to historians. His fortunes later revived after the success of his son, and he was granted a coat of arms five years before his death, probably at the instigation and expense of his playwright son.
Career and municipal responsibilities
John Shakespeare moved to Stratford-upon-Avon in 1551, where he became a successful businessman involved in several related occupations. From 1556 to 1592, several official records identify him as a glovemaker, which was probably his primary trade, as tradition remembers him as following that trade even into his old age, but the records of his real estate purchases and legal expenses indicate an income much higher than that of a small-town tradesman. The administration of his father's estate in 1561 names him as a farmer. He inherited and leased agricultural lands and is on record as selling timber and barley. Court records also document him as a "brogger", an unlicensed—and therefore illegal—wool dealer. In addition, he bought and leased out houses. He was twice taken to court for violating the usury laws that prohibited charging interest higher than the legal limit of 10 percent.
The 1985 Indianapolis 500 took place on Sunday, May 26, 1985 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 69th Running of the Indianapolis 500 was host to one of the most famous wins in Indy 500 history. Spin and Win: 1:16:48 | Race Finish: 2:12:40
As Danny Sullivan went to pass racing-legend Mario Andretti for the lead on lap 120, Sullivan's car went below the white line and subsequently spun coming out of the turn. Sullivan managed to save the car with no damage and go on to pass Andretti for the lead and ultimately win the race.
The 1985 Indianapolis 500 became known as the "Spin and Win" and is considered as one of the Indianapolis 500's most famous racing moments.
Danny Sullivan led the last 61 laps of the 1985 Indianapolis 500 en route to his only victory in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
But Sullivan will be forever remembered for one lap, one moment, in which he took the lead for just a brief second before losing it.
Sullivan stalked leader Mario Andretti just past the halfway point of the race, trying to find the speed and the proper line to seize the top spot for the second time that day. Sullivan’s No. 5 Miller American March/Cosworth pulled to the inside and even with Andretti’s No. 3 Beatrice Foods Lola/Cosworth as the two cars crossed the Yard of Bricks to start Lap 120.
The huge crowd roared in anticipation as two of the biggest stars of the day roared into Turn 1, with Sullivan dipping under the white line on the apron while Andretti hugged the racing groove.
Sullivan cleared Andretti’s car and popped above the white line and into the racing groove exiting Turn 1.
Then one of the most memorable moments in Indianapolis 500 history unfolded in a split-second. Sullivan’s Team Penske car wiggled to the right in the short chute between Turns 1 and 2 and then did a complete 360-degree spin to the left, almost invisible in a huge cloud of tire smoke.
