Ralph Mulford was overall winner in a series of races for AAA Championship cars held on the 1.125 mile board Uniontown Speedway in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Tommy Milton drove his Duesenberg to victory in the first of the five 27 mile heats, averaging 101.1 mph, which would be the fastest of the day. Mulford won a second heat that saw Uniontown master I.P. Fetterman crashing into the outside wooden rail after breaking an axle. Fetterman's car took out a curve top flag stand, seriously injuring two corner flag men, and rode along the rail for nearly 1/4 of a mile before Fetterman brought the car to a stop and climbed out uninjured. Eddie Hearne, Louis Chevrolet and Mulford won the 3rd, 4th and 5th heats, all at the wheel of Frontenacs. The Uniontown board track, with turns banked at nearly 40 degrees, operated through 1921.
