A. J. "Peter" Kreis (January 19, 1900 – May 25, 1934) 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 spinning, 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.
Kreis was a wealthy contractor who took a month off each year to drive in the 500.
