This was likely "Wild Bill" Cassidy, crashing at the Arden Downs (dirt) Track, Washington, Pennsylvania, on July 12, 1936. – Dirt Track Auto Racing [2]

I'd take 'badly bruised' for that sort of bragging rights!

It's an amazing shot. They were made of stronger stuff back then. Can you imagine if this happened to Lewis Hamilton? He'd be in many bits.

This crash looks absolutely brutal at original size: farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/3350708019_a0fd801819_o.jpg You can see the driver flying through the air, although it looks like the photo has been retouched as there is an artificial looking outline around the driver.
