Timeline
Rex Houston Mays Jr. (March 10, 1913 – November 6, 1949) was an American racing driver.
He was a two-time National Champion, won four poles for the Indianapolis 500, and is generally regarded as one of the greatest drivers of his generation.
Mays 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.
Mays won the AAA National Championship in 1940 and 1941.
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 Indianapolis pole in 1948 but was knocked out by a mechanical problem.
In a race at Milwaukee, a fellow driver, Duke Dinsmore, was thrown from his car during an incident in the south turn.
Rex Mays was leading the race and saw Dinsmore's body lying in the middle of the south turn.
Rex spun his car into the wall, got out of the car, and pulled the unconscious Duke Dinsmore to safety.
Mays was killed at the age of 36 in a crash during the only Champ Car race held at Del Mar Fairgrounds race track in Del Mar, California in November 1949.
In this accident, Mays swerved to miss a car that had crashed in front of him.
His car went out of control and flipped, throwing Mays to the track surface, where he was hit by a trailing car.
Mays has been inducted into the following halls of fame:
In addition, the Milwaukee Mile Indy car race traditionally run the weekend after the Indianapolis 500 was renamed in Mays' honor, recognizing not only his career and tragic death, but his selfless earlier actions in protecting Dinsmore.
The Rex Mays Classic ran as such from 1950 to 1987 - at which time the Mays name was eliminated in favor of Miller High Life sponsorship.
Riverside International Raceway also held an Indy car race named after Mays, the Rex Mays 300, which ran from 1967 to 1969.
