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.

Auto racing historian Michael Ferner suggests that this photo was at Sheepshead Bay, New York in 1919. Given that, Michael identifies the cars as Duesenberg (#9), Hudson (#27), Stickle Special (#21) and the Packard of Ralph De Palma. Michael indicates the Stickle was a Duesenberg/Hudson.
