The front row at the start of the 1915 Indianapolis 500. No. 1 was Howard Wilcox in a Stutz, No. 2 was the winner, Ralph DePalma in a Mercedes, and No. 3 was Dario Resta, who finished second in his Peugeot. This "photo" has been heavily enhanced by an artist. The car numbers are exaggerated, the Peugeot is out of proportion for its position on the track, the dust clouds are probably fake.
