Dave Friedman Collection--Photographs--Digital Images--1969 Indianapolis 500--Item 1003

Dave Friedman has captured and preserved auto racing history through his photography. His work -- and his collection of works by other photographers -- documents key races, vehicles, drivers, and teams. Mario Andretti won the 1969 Indianapolis 500. The competition featured a field of 33 rear-engine vehicles -- the first time no front-engine cars qualified for the race.
