A. J. Peter Kreis (January 19 1900 Knoxville Tennessee – May 25 1934 Indianapolis Indiana) was an American racecar driver. He and riding mechanic Robert Hahn were killed in a turn one accident while practicing for the 1934 Indianapolis 500. As he was entering the turn a car in front of him spun followed by Kreis’ car spining possibly due to trying to avoid a collision. The car went over the outside wall backwards tumbled and hit a tree. Both men were dead when the ambulance arrived.
