Tommy Milton makes history with this race as the 1921 victor wins the
race again to become the first two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500.
Milton was relieved about about 48 laps just past halfway by Howdy
Wilcox, an earlier leader of the race who had already dropped out, and
spend his time out of the car bandaging up his blistered hands. He
retook the wheel of the HCS Motor Miller with 49 laps to go and raced on
to victory. This would be Milton's final win at Indianapolis.

Mercedes-Benz made its first appearance at the Indianapolis 500 with
this race as it entered a trio of supercharged race cars, the first
supercharged entries ever at Indy. Max Sailer posted a top-10 run at the
wheel of one of them with teammate Christian Werner not far behind in
11th while Christian Lautenschlager crashed out early. None of three
German racers ever ran the 500 again.

The format of the Indy 500 was changed before this race to make the use
of a riding mechanic optional, it would remain this way though 1929.
Lautenschlager's Mercedes was the only car in this race that had one.

With riding mechanics being made optional as of this year, only one
driver used one: Jacob Krauss accompanied Christian Lautenschlager.
