For the Cummins Engine Company, the Indianapolis 500 was an important testbed for proving the durability of the company’s diesel engines. As the story goes, Cummins founder Clessie Cummins wanted to resolve a debate within the diesel engine industry of which design was better: the two-stroke, or the four-stroke. Car Number 5 was fitted with a two-stroke version of the H-4 and shared 95 percent of its parts with the four-stroke H-4 fitted to Car Number 6.
