Very cool, John.
How did you acquire it?
I couldn't find anything about this model via search, though one someone painted did come up on a collectible auction site (not eBay).

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

I got it years ago at an Indy toy show - It appears to have been red at one time - I have two more of these but they don't say speedway but are numbered 33 & 88 - I was told the Speedway car was a souvenir car sold at the speedway but I can't vouch for that - the other two I believe were made from the same mold that was modified like so many of these old cars were as the molds were purchased by others -They are approx 4-7/8"s long
I also have an Indy car that was sold as a souvenir in 1947, the year Nash was the pace car - it is marked Wilbur Shaw and Nash set the pace.
