Few know it; but the first racing competition at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was a motorcycle race. It was August 14, 1909, and racing at the Speedway was the highlight of a week-long motorcycle celebration featuring riders like Walter Davidson and Erwin "Cannon Ball" Baker. For this final race, the Kokomo Rubber Company donated a trophy, but it was never awarded because the event at the Speedway was canceled due to rain. The artifact still exists and is owned by a private collector who, one day, wants to come full circle and pay tribute to the pioneers of racing. 100% high quality cotton Custom slim fit from the USA Jersey Construction creates a lightweight, breathable shirt with a very soft feel Heritage Twill labels at collar, left arm and bottom Crew neck White neck tape Contrast stitching white on back neck and bottom Machine washable MADE IN THE USA
