Pacing at the Start of the Indianapolis 500 Race, 1929
01
Artifact Overview
After starting back in the sixth position at the 1929 Indianapolis 500, Ray Keech crossed the finish line first in his Miller race car. It is not surprising that Keech won in a Miller race car because Harry Miller was America's most innovative race car builder pre-World War II. Miller's vehicles dominated Indianapolis races from 1918-1930.
