Dave Friedman Collection--Photographs--Digital Images--1968 Indianapolis 500--Item 820

Automotive supplier Borg-Warner provided the Indianapolis 500's top prize, the Borg-Warner Trophy, in 1936. Each year, the winner's name and average race speed are added to the award, along with a likeness of the driver's face. The original trophy is permanently housed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Winning drivers and team owners each receive a smaller replica to keep.
