William Raymond Pixley (February 1, 1907 – August 30, 1936) was an American racing driver.

Biography[edit]

Primarily a sprint car driver, Pixley competed in the 1936 Indianapolis 500 for Clarence Felker, driving in a Miller that had once sported a V16 engine but at the time was powered by a Miller four-cylinder.[1] It would be his only Championship Car start as he was killed in August of that year in a crash at Roby Speedway in Hammond, Indiana.[2]
