Comments:
When not winning Academy Awards or founding philanthropic organizations, Paul Newman was an avid and successful race car driver. He raced in a number of events at various levels from the late 1960s, up until 2005, when he raced in the 24 Hours of Daytona at the age of 79, three years before his death, after which he was posthumously inducted into the Sports Car Club of America Hall of Fame.
