Earl Kiser Portrait

Earl Kiser was one of America's early professional auto racing drivers and a chief rival to his much more well-known contemporary, Barney Oldfield. Kiser succeeded Oldfield on Alexander Winton's Bullet II race car when Barney and Winton had a falling out. Kiser was also a colleague of Indianapolis Motor Speedway founder Carl Fisher.

This image was originally published in the August 14, 1909 Indianapolis Star. The photo is of Indianapolis motorcycle patrolman Albert Gibney, who was entered in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's first motorized competition, the 1909 motorcycle race meet. Gibney was injured while practicing on the track August 13 and could not recover in time to compete in the meet the following day.
