Italian Isotta Wins the Motor Parkway Sweepstakes
Motor Parkway #P42 Isotta during the 1908 Motor Parkway Sweepstakes

The winner of the Motor Parkway Sweepstakes was Herb Lytle driving his Italian #P42 Isotta at an average speed of 64.25 mph, an American record for long-distance speed contests. As Lytle drove past the newly constructed Jerusalem Road Bridge over the Motor Parkway, his riding mechanician looked back towards the grandstand. The grandstand could be seen through the bridge passageway.
