- Ed Elisian (born Edward Gulbeng Eliseian; December 9, 1926 – August 30, 1959) was an American racecar driver, mainly competing in the National Championship. He died in a crash at the Milwaukee Mile. In the 1955 Indianapolis 500, he stopped his car in a futile attempt to help Bill Vukovich when Vukovich's car crashed and burned during the race. He is one of only two drivers in Indy 500 history to stop a non-damaged car to help another driver, the other being Gary Bettenhausen in 1971. He received a sportsmanship award for his efforts, as well as the wrath of the car owner. In June 1956, Elisian was engaging in a wheel-to-wheel duel with Bob Sweikert, who had won the race in which Vukovich was killed, in a Sprint car race at Salem Speedway when Sweikert made contact with the rail, overleapt it and rolled over outside of the track, suffering fatal skull injuries. Elisian was exonerated as no collision had taken place. In the 1958 Indianapolis 500, Dick Rathmann and Elisian started the race on the front row, with Jimmy Reece on the outside of the front row. Elisian spun in Turn 3 of the first lap, and collected Rathmann, sending them both into the wall, and starting a 15-car pileup. Pat O'Connor's car hit Reece's car, sailed fifty feet in the air, landed upside down, and burst into flames. Although medical officials said that O'Connor was probably killed instantly from a fractured skull, he was incinerated in the accident, in full view of fans and drivers. Widely blamed for the accident, Elisian was suspended by USAC (reinstated a few days later), and was shunned by the racing community. Rumors spread that Elisian tried to lead the first lap in order to pay gambling debts owed to a syndicate. In June 1958, Elisian collided with Jim Davis in a Sprint car race at New Bremen Speedway in Auglaize County, Ohio. After Davis had run over one of the wheels of Elisian's spinning car when trying to pass him at the south turn, both cars flipped over and slid down the track. Elisian sustained minor injuries, but Davis, who suffered a skull fracture and chest injuries, died at Memorial Hospital in St. Marys, Ohio. While absolved of blame in the incident, Elisian's unpopularity with drivers deepened. In September 1958, Elisian was suspended for being charged with passing fraudulent checks among other things, but reinstated as of end of May 1959. In August 1959, Elisian entered the USAC Indy car 200-mile (320 km) race at the "Milwaukee Mile," known in those days as Wisconsin State Fair Park. Driving a metallic green Watson-style roadster owned by Ernie Ruiz, he crashed on lap 29 when he spun in oil from A. J. Foyt's engine. The car hit the wall, rupturing the fuel cell, and rolled over. Some sixty gallons of fuel caught fire, and took over nine minutes to extinguish. The crash claimed the life of Elisian. (en)

- Edward "Ed" Gulbeng Elisian, il cui vero cognome era Eliseian (Oakland, 9 dicembre 1926 – Milwaukee, 30 agosto 1959), è stato un pilota automobilistico statunitense. Corse nella serie Champ Car tra il 1954 ed il 1959. Alla 500 Miglia di Indianapolis 1955 si fermò per tentare di salvare il collega Bill Vukovich dal rogo della sua vettura. Fu l'unica volta nella storia della 500 Miglia dove un pilota con vettura non danneggiata si fermò per soccorrere un compagno. Il gesto gli valse tutti gli onori del caso, insieme alla collera del suo titolare di scuderia. Tre anni dopo alla 500 Miglia partito dalla seconda piazza, sbandò alla terza curva innescando una carambola che causò la morte di Pat O'Connor. Meno di un mese dopo rimase coinvolto in un altro scontro che uccise Jim Davis. Sebbene assolto da ogni colpa, la sua impopolarità tra i colleghi aumentò. Morì l'anno successivo durante la gara di campionato a Milwaukee. Venne sepolto presso il cimitero Mountain View ad Oakland, California. Tra il 1950 e il 1960 la 500 Miglia di Indianapolis faceva parte del Campionato Mondiale, per questo motivo Elisian ha all'attivo anche cinque Gran Premi in Formula 1. (it)
