The Driver "Ford vs Ferrari" Never Told You About: Dan Gurney's Untold Stories | Barn Find Hunter

Dan Gurney was one of the most versatile and influential figures in motorsports history. As a driver, engineer, and team owner, he left a lasting impact on Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR, and endurance racing. Gurney was the first driver to win races in F1, NASCAR, IndyCar, and sports cars—a feat few have matched. In 1967, he became the first and only American to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix in a car of his own design, the legendary Eagle-Weslake. That same year, he co-drove to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with A.J. Foyt, famously starting the tradition of spraying champagne on the podium. Beyond his driving career, Gurney pioneered motorsport innovations, including the famed Gurney Flap, a key aerodynamic advancement still used today. As the founder of All American Racers (AAR), he helped revolutionize car design and engineering, leaving a lasting legacy. 🏁 Exclusive Tour of AAR! 🏁 Tom gets an exclusive tour of AAR (All American Racers), the legendary race shop Dan Gurney founded after Carroll Shelby split off to create Shelby American.
