Artifact Overview

Photographer Dave Friedman captured and preserved auto racing history. His work -- and his collection of works by other photographers -- documents key races, cars, drivers, and teams. Here Bobby Unser celebrates his 1968 Indianapolis 500 victory in the race's traditional way: with a bottle of milk. Louis Meyer started the custom in 1936 by toasting his third Indy 500 win with buttermilk.
