Wilbur Shaw's First "500" Win!

This is David Story's second rendering of 1937 Indianapolis 500 winner Wilbur Shaw. His victory over second-place Ralph Hepburn was the closest winning margin (2.16 seconds) for the iconic race up to that time. Shaw was the historic race's first three-time champion, also winning the grueling contest in 1939 and 1940. Less well known is that Shaw not only won the "500" three times but also finished in the runner-up spot the same number of times ('33, '35, '38).
