Stars of Indianapolis 500, 1919 Part Two

Check out this image from Motor Age (contributed by auto racing history researcher Ken Parrotte). It shows some of the top stars of the 1919 Indianapolis 500 and was published days before the race. All these drivers were superstars in their era, and many are in halls of fame. There were several champions of the race, all of whom would score their triumphs in subsequent years - Gaston Chevrolet (1920), Joe Boyer (1924), Tommy Milton (1921 and 1923), and, of course, that year's winner, Howdy Wilcox.
