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.

This appears to be another angle from a photo shoot I believe was taken during the build-up to the 1916 Indianapolis 500. The driver is Barney Oldfield who retired from racing in 1919. A different photo has been more widely shared so this one is a very interesting find. Thanks to Rick Erickson of Mishawaka, Indiana for sharing this image with First Super Speedway.
