Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance
March 07-09, 2008: America has produced many great race drivers and for Amelia 2008, we will be honoring one of the greatest to ever get behind the wheel, Mr. Parnelli Jones.
During his incredibly diverse career, Jones raced just about every kind of car around, including sports cars, sprint cars, Indy cars, midget racers, stock cars and off-road vehicles.
His 1963 Indy 500 win was one for the ages and, in 1967, he piloted one of the most famous race cars to ever run at the Brickyard, the controversial STP-sponsored, turbine-powered entry.
A successful businessman after his racing career ended, Jones is a member today of more than 20 automotive halls of fame.
