Motor racing legend Bruce McLaren was elected to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum's Hall of Fame along with three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti.
A winner of four F1 Grand Prix and the founder of the eponymous and second most successful team in history, Bruce McLaren also conquered Indianapolis as a constructor, winning the Indy 500 in 1972, 1974 and 1976.
"Even decades after his passing, the name Bruce McLaren instantly conjures up vivid memories for racing enthusiasts around the world," said Indianapolis Motor Speedway historian Donald Davidson
"Whether they be for his Formula One driving days; for his analytical approach to racing; his decision to start up his own marque, when he could well have continued to drive for other people; his utter dominance, along with fellow New Zealander Denis Hulme of the Can-Am series in the late 1960s; or for the legendary organizations he left behind which compiled multiple Formula One constructor championships and Indianapolis 500 wins."
