DIANAPOLlS TO DRIVE RACE.
Buick Team Has Two Pilots Who Got
Reputation Abroad Before Oriv-
ina in America.

Arthur Chevrolet, the Swiss Whirl-
wind" and Charley Basic, the famous
French driver, will be the pilots of the
Buick cars In the 50O-mile Information
a Sweepstakes Race to be held at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Me-
mortal Day, according to the an
nouncement Of Wadsworth Warren,
manager of the famous Michigan rae
ing team. Both of these drivers are
well known, having been engaged in
many of the greatest events in the
last few years. Arthur Chevrolet is
the brother of Louis Chevrolet, who
sprang into sudden prominence by
winning the Cobe Trophy Race at
Crown Point in 1903 At that time Ar
thur Chevrolet was a mechanician
along with the Buick team. He has
been In America since 1897, coming
here first as an employee of the Win
ton Motor Car Co., but later engaged
IA the racing game, his first appear
ance being in 1906. He has been IN
many minor events as we'll as many
Of the great classics, starting as a
runner-up to his brother Lewis and
wild Bob Burman, who was the 9TH
Or driver on the Buick team.
Charley Basic gained distinction in
France before coming to America and

the place as first American car in the
Grand Prize race at Savannah under
{he guidance of wild Bob" Burman.
Up to the present time there are
thirty-five cars entered in this long
event and the nomination of Basic
and Chevrolet leaves but two or three
cars without drivers. The Speedway
management anticipates receiving at
least four or five more entries, among
them being a car which will be driven
BY Burman. who Is the only great
American pilot out of the list of driv-
sFs to compete.
Side purses of $4,000 have been of
fered in addition to the s25.100 gold

agsment for the winners of this race
These purses have been hung up by
various accessory and supply makers
and Il ID stated that several thousand
dollars will be added before the event

seats and reservations for this great
race received from all parts Of the
country, indicate that the event has ia
