He was one of the most versatile drivers of all time. He was the only American to win a Formula 1 race in a car of his own manufacture. He mentored and developed many talented drivers.

In many ways he personified the American spirit. He was a decent, honorable man, above all.

My favorite driver of all time. I first saw him at the 1962 Indy 500, then again in 1963 with the Lotus Fords.

RIP Dan.

Thank You for the great times.

No wonder he had such a good relationship with Carroll Shelby, a similar man.
