I assume Joe Boyer took over the wheel sometime during the race.

Joe Boyer started the race in the #9 car. He led the first 2 laps of the
race. He was relieved on lap 109. The relief driver (I have no idea who)
drove until lap 176 when he crashed in turn 1.

L.L. Corum was relieved by Boyer on lap 111 and drove the rest of the
way in the #15 car, leading the last 24 laps.

L.L. Corum would never have won a AAA race, but he was considered good
enough to drive for then top-level Duesenberg team. He just happened to
have a relief driver on his A-game that day. This was Corum's only
finish better than 5th in AAA (coming at the previous year's 500). Joe
Boyer, on the other hand, was one of the best drivers going at the time
of his death later that season.
