Hartz won the Indy 500 twice as an owner and finished second three times as a driver. He also won the AAA national championship as a driver (1926) and owner (1930). Hartz began as a riding mechanic before moving behind the wheel full-time with a Duesenberg in 1922.
 
The Indy race at Long Beach tomorrow could be quite a good show. Kyle Kirkwood who won two out of three races at Long Beach is a favorite, posting the best lap times in both practices. Friday's practice laps resulted in several drivers having an off, including rookie Mick Schumacher, the famed driver Michael Schumacher' s son. Romain Grosjean and Nolan Siegel also brought out the red flag.
