Rex Mays

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rex Mays (born March 10, 1913 - died November 6, 1949) is a former AAA Championship Car race driver from Riverside, California. He made his Indianapolis 500 debut in 1934 and won the pole in 1935, 1936, and again in 1940 and finished second, he returned the next year and finished second again. However, World War II suspended racing until 1946, denying Mays of what likely would have been the peak of his career. After the war Mays again won the Indy pole in 1948 but was knocked out by a mechanical problem. He was killed in a crash during the only Champ Car race held at Del Mar Speedway in Del Mar, California in 1949.
