1941 INDIANAPOLIS 500
 
The 29th International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race was held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday, May 30, 1941.
Floyd Davis was the starting driver for the #16 car. On lap 72, Davis came in for a pit stop, and was relieved by Mauri Rose. Rose had started the race in another car and dropped out earlier. Car owner Lou Moore was apparently unsatisfied with Davis' performance thus far in the race, and ordered Rose to take over. Rose charged up the standings and took the lead in the #16 car, and went on to win. Both drivers were credited as "co-winners," similar to what occurred in the 1924 race. This marked the last time that one car would carry two drivers to victory at Indy.
Speedway president Eddie Rickenbacker did not attend the race, and instead listened to it on the radio.^[1] He was recovering from injuries suffered in a near-fatal plane crash a few months before the race. Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1941_Indianapolis_500
