Below is a collection of articles about the great American driver Joe Dawson who won the second Indianapolis 500 Mile Race in 1912. Also check out this article on Joe from Vanderbilt Races.
Thanks to First Super Speedway follower Major Simms we can share this "mystery" photo. This is a poster to promote a race held in 1924 at N.C.R. Speedway. Major is inquiring about more information:
Where was this Speedway?
When in the year was the race held?
Who won? Other results?
How many years was the track in operation?
If anyone knows more, please contact me and we can help Major - plus get the story published here.
I came across this video on YouTube a while back and based on its mix of heartfelt music, a professional voice over, compelling photos and some really, really terrible research I wanted to comment. The overall tone of the piece carries a lot of truth about motorcycle board track racing in America in the first quarter of the 20th century but the specifics are astoundingly inaccurate.
