Haibe made his first Indianapolis 500 start in 1916, driving a car constructed by auto dealer and driver Swan Ostewig. Ostewig relieved Haibe mid-way through the race after Haibe complained about handling, and finished in 10th place.{{Cite web |title=Sven Fredriksen Ostewig |url=https://www.kvalevaag.se/?page_id=9294 |access-date=2024-01-03 |language=sv-SE}}
