Baumann qualified for the 1928 Indianapolis 500 but suffered a crash during a practice run on the morning of the race. He served as a relief driver for Tony Gulotta.
He died on August 18, 1930, in Kankakee, Illinois, during the first lap of a 15-mile race when he was thrown from his car and impaled on a fence rail. In the same race, Evron Salpaugh broke his arm when he was thrown from his auto.[2]
