The 23rd International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday, May 30, 1935. Despite attempts to improve participant safety by requiring crash helmets and installing green and yellow lights around the track, the event that year would prove to be one of the worst in terms of fatalities.〔(Fatalities – May 1935 ), indymotorspeedway.com〕 Kelly Petillo won the race, accompanied by riding mechanic Jimmy Dunham. Pete DePaolo, the 1925 winner, was the team principal, becoming the first individual to win the race separately as a driver and an owner. ==Pre-race and qualifying== Ten-lap (25 mile) qualifying runs were utilized. On May 21, nine days before the race, three prospective participants lost their lives. Rookie Johnny Hannon, on just his first lap at racing speed, had his car go over the outside retaining wall and was killed from a fractured skull. Later that day, driver Hartford "Stubby" Stubblefield also had his car go over the outside wall, and both he and his riding mechanic Leo Whittaker died from injuries they received being thrown from the vehicle.〔Three Auto Racers Killed, One Injured, In Memorial Day Trials at Indianapolis ''Associated Press'', May 22, 1935, as seen on page 1 of the ''New York Times''〕 Kelly Petillo, the eventual winner, had his own difficulties getting into the field. His initial qualifying run (a record-breaking was voided when his car was ruled to have exceeded the fuel limit. Returning to the track, he had an engine blow, before finally having a qualifying run of 115.095 that placed him 22nd in the field.〔Reed, Terry Indy. ''The Race and Ritual of the Indianapolis 500''.
