In the early 1950s, the Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew—Bobby Hill, Bill Tuman, and Ernie Beckman—dominated the Springfield Mile, helping cement Indian’s legacy in flat track racing.

As the institution of American motorcycle racing grew, the company’s competitive focus shifted to the track. In 1937, renowned racer Ed Kretz won the first Daytona 200 race on an Indian Sport Scout.
