B B Scheduled for 200 miles, stopped due to fatal wreck involving then-leader Ray Keech. AAA rules stated that no car involved in a wreck could score points, so the win reverted to Louis Meyer. Final points standings Note 1: Drivers had to be running at the finish to score points. Points scored by drivers sharing a ride were split according to percentage of race driven. Starters were not allowed to score points as relief drivers, if a race starter finished the race in another car, in a points scoring position, those points were awarded to the driver who had started the car. Note 2: Carl Marchese, L. L. Corum, and Louis Chiron were ineligible for points.
