Left: Ralph Hepburn in the powerful car developed by Bud Winfield that finished 4th in the 1941 Indy 500. After World War II, the Winfield cars became known as Novis, and while they never won the 500, they were nearly always the fastest cars on the track and had a huge following among auto racing fans.
