The Story of Clarence “Mutt” Anderson, Racing Legend
XENIA – On Monday, November 13, 2017, at 7 PM, Phil and Mike Anderson, sons of Mutt Anderson, will present a program about their famous father. Clarence E. “Mutt” Anderson (1915-2010), was born in Xenia, the son of Cloisy and Mary O’Connor Anderson. He was a member of St. Brigid Church and owned Anderson Abattoir for many years, later becoming interested in a hobby of building racing cars. Some of the great names in auto racing drove his cars, such as Roger McCluskey, A.J. Foyt, Bobby Unser, Mario Andretti, Eddie Sachs, Troy Ruttman, Mike Nazaruk and Johnny Rutherford. He was enshrined in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1968, and the National Association of Auto Racing Fan Clubs Hall of Fame in 2005, as well as the Dayton Speedway Hall of Fame. He later became a USAC official and had a close bond with the Brickyard. Mutt also served 35 years on the Xenia Civil Service Commission.
The public is invited to this free event; light refreshments will be served. For further information, please contact the Greene County Ohio Historical Society at 937-372-4606 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
