I found this in a box of old post cards I won in a local auction.

Any chance it is of Louis Meyer, Racing Hall of Famer, and first 3 time Indy 500 winner?

He won in car number 8 at Indy in 1936, for his 3rd and final win.

Edited to say, I think it MIGHT possibly by Joe Dawson, who won the 2nd Indy 500 in 1912 in the number 8 car. The car
looks to old to be of Meyer, and looks pretty close to the car Dawson would have driven. In addition, Dawson drove in
many other types of races, as noted on the hood of the car.
