His win was also the first of four at the Indiana-based luxury auto manufacturer Duesenberg, all of its victories would come during the Roaring Twenties. Murphy and Duesenberg became the first all-American team to win a European Grand Prix race a year earlier when they won the 1921 French Grand Prix at Le Mans then took that exact same race car, modified it to run to Indianapolis specs, and took it to victory lane again here. Teams were required to race with a riding mechanic in this race. 9.

Baker won the very first race ever on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval when he took the win in a motorcycle race here all the way back in 1909. Baker was best known for setting records driving cross country and that status would bring his name back into the racing consciousness in the 1970s more than a decade after his death with the founding of the founding of the special, but highly illegal, Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash; a transcontinental race from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States. That race is perhaps better known by its shortened nickname that also honored Baker...The "Cannonball Run." 10.
