Seems few know who he was. That's sad. Dan was an innovator not just a determined driver. When young (50/60's) we listened to the Indy 500 on the radio. Dan, his teams, his cars were always it the thick of it.

So THAT's where the bubble on the GT40 originated.

That's unfortunate. Seems like he was a major asset to motorsports.

His latest designs are but two years old. He never quit.

Gurney coined the champagne shake and spray when he and AJ Foyt were on the podium in 1966 at LeMans. Everyone else in motor sports that does this is looking at Gurney’s tail lights, much like his contemporaries.
