The 1955 AAA Championship Car season consisted of 11 races, beginning in Speedway, Indiana on May 30 and concluding in Phoenix, Arizona on November 6. There was also one non-championship event in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The AAA National Champion and Indianapolis 500 winner was Bob Sweikert. Manny Ayulo was killed at Indianapolis while practicing for the 1955 Indianapolis 500, and Bill Vukovich, the two-time defending winner, was killed in the race itself. Jack McGrath, the two-time champion (1952, 1953), was killed in the final race at Phoenix on lap 85. This was the last year of the AAA National Championship; USAC sanctioned the series starting the next year.

  • Die AAA-Saison 1955 war die 34. Meisterschaftssaison im US-amerikanischen Formelsport. Sie begann am 30. Mai mit dem Indianapolis 500 und endete am 6. November in Phoenix. Bob Sweikert sicherte sich den Titel. Am 3. August 1955 gab die AAA bekannt, dass sie ab dem kommenden Jahr keine Motorsportrennen mehr veranstalten werde. Als Gründe wurden unter anderem der Unfall beim 24-Stunden-Rennen von Le Mans 1955 und der Tod Bill Vukovichs beim Indy 500 angegeben. (de)
