George William Barringer (May 2, 1906 – September 2, 1946)[1] was an American racecar driver, active during the 1930s and 1940s. Barringer made 17 Championship Car starts with a best finish of second at Springfield in August 1935 and Milwaukee in August 1939. In 1941, Barringer debuted a revolutionary rear-engined racecar at the Indianapolis 500; he only placed 32nd after a garage fire destroyed the car before the race began. He and George Robson were killed in the same multicar pile-up at the Lakewood Speedway in Atlanta, Georgia.
