Barney Oldfield Images

Images from Barney Oldfield's racing career. Many of these are items collected from photocopies of newspapers preserved on microfilm. Many of the original photos have been lost to the ages, so some of these images rescued in this manner may be all that remains. While the quality is inferior by today's standards, they still provide interesting information about Oldfield and the events he participated in.

Oldfield, Dragon, 1906

It's pretty apparent from all the advance promotion of the May 1906 Decoraion Day races at the Indiana State Fairgrounds that Barney Oldfield was the most marketable of all the drivers. This photo ran with an article about him in the May 27, 1906 Indianapolis Star.
