The 1913 AAA Championship Car season consisted of 14 races, beginning in San Diego, California on January 1 and concluding in Corona, California on September 9. AAA did not award points towards a National Championship during the 1913 season, and did not declare a National Champion.[1] Jules Goux was the winner of the Indianapolis 500.
The de facto National Champion as polled by the American automobile journal Motor Age, was Earl Cooper. Points were not awarded by the AAA Contest Board during the 1913 season. Cooper was named the champion by Chris G. Sinsabaugh, an editor at Motor Age, based upon merit and on track performance. A points table was created retroactively in 1927. At a later point, it was recognized by historians that these championship results should be considered unofficial.
