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.

In promoting the October 1915 running of the Harry Harkness Trophy at the Sheepshead Bay, New York board track, the management made sure the top stars of auto racing would compete. This group includes: Louis Chevrolet, Barney Oldfield, Ira Vail and Dario Resta.
