The 1925 Indianapolis 500 saw the introduction of a front wheel drive Miller, the so called Junior 8 Car. This front drive, with bevel gear and differential in front of the engine, enabled a lower driver position, hence a lower center of gravity of the car. Although it was the fastest qualifier, the race was won by Pete DePaolo, a nephew of Ralph DePalma. It was the first time the Indianapolis 500 was run in less than five hours and DePaolo the first driver to attain an average speed of over 100 mph.
