Unfortunately, the race also produced the first fatalities at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway when 26-year-old driver Wilfred Bourque and his 22-year-old riding mechanic Harry Holcomb struck a fence post.
On August 19, 1909, Bourque won the third automobile race held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (a five-mile race).
