From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Jimmy Bryan (born 28 January 1926, Phoenix, Arizona, died 19 June 1960) was an American racing driver, best known for winning the Indianapolis 500 in 1958 and the National Championship in 1954, 1956 and 1957. He died after a crash in a Sprint car race at Langhorne, Pennsylvania in 1960, on the same day that two drivers were killed in the Belgian Grand Prix, making the day one of the most tragic in racing history.
As the Indianapolis 500 counted as a round of the Formula One World championship from 1950 to 1960 his career is credited with participation in 9 grands prix, with 1 win, 3 podiums and 18 championship points scored. (Note that drivers who won the Indy 500 only are often not listed in totals of Grand Prix winners, as the race's inclusion in the World Championship was largely symbolic, with very few F1 drivers taking part.)
