Cogan's is most known for the the 1982 Indy 500. He crashed on the pace lap that year, taking out A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti.
Following the incident, Foyt referred to him as "...that idiot 'Coogan'" and Andretti said, "That's what happens when you send a boy to do a man's job."
Here are a couple of links showing that it is Cogan:
