Pre-Race Report
Previous race
Fangio won the Argentine Grand Prix in January — his first home victory — to open the championship year and take the lead in the Drivers’ standings.
Entrants
As in previous years, no European Formula One drivers are entered at Indianapolis. The field is made up of American oval specialists on Kurtis Kraft machinery and similar cars. Bill Vukovich, who won the 1953 race, starts from 19th on the grid after his two-year-old car struggled to find pace in qualifying. Jack McGrath takes pole.
