David Bruce-Brown
Bruce-Brown and his mechanic Tony Scudelari, shortly before they were killed in an practice accident at the 1912 American Grand Prize.

David Loney Bruce-Brown (August 13, 1887 New York City – October 1, 1912 Milwaukee, Wisconsin) was an American racecar driver. Having bluffed his way into auto racing at the age of 18, he turned out to be a natural talent behind the wheel and won the 1908 Daytona Speed Trials. He then went on to win the American Grand Prize in both 1910 and 1911 as well as numerous other races. He also participated in the 1911 and 1912 editions of the Indianapolis 500. He was killed during practice for the 1912 American Grand Prize and Vanderbilt Cup races held in Milwaukee.[1] His car was repaired and driven by Barney Oldfield in the Grand Prize to a 4th place finish.

He was the son of George and Ruth Bruce-Brown and the brother of William Bruce-Brown.
