Lora Lawrence Corum (January 8, 1899 – March 7, 1949) was a co-winner of the1924 Indianapolis 500.^[1]

Corum was born on January 8, 1899, inJonesville, Indiana to Margaret Hannah Marquette and William Cecil Corum.

During the1924 Indianapolis 500 Corum, in third place, was replaced by the more well-knownJoe Boyer on lap 109 on orders of the head of the team after Boyer's car developed trouble.^[2] While Corum received the prize money and was credited with the victory (later this was changed to the two drivers being co-winners), Boyer received most of the credit from the racing community. Corum qualified for the1928 Indianapolis 500, but suffered a crash during a practice run on the morning of the race.

Corum left racing in 1933, but returned in 1938 as a mechanic, working forHarry Miller's five car team at the Indianapolis 500.^[3]

Corum died on March 7, 1949, at age 50.
