This article was published in the May 31, 1911 Indianapolis Sun. This is a fine race report that discusses much of the detail of the first Indianapolis 500. It also presents a nice summary of the winnings of the top ten finishers. However, these were the unofficial standings. After a review of records on May 31, Marmon driver Joe Dawson was inserted among the top ten finishers in fifth place.
