1920 AAA National Championship Trail
**The 1920 season at one time was a mess.
Originally it consisted of 5 races, with Gaston Chevrolet as champion.
Revisions were apparently made well afterwards to include 11 races, with Tommy Milton as champion.
Further research has shown the 5 race season to be the true legitimate season,
and the results are shown here as such**
