From Formula 5000: the #48 All-American Racers Gurney Eagle, which was the event’s first pole winner and first-ever to turn a wheel on the racetrack in 1975, piloted at the time by Vern Schuppan.
From Formula 1, the 1977 race-winning #5 John Player Lotus 77 which was famously driven by Mario Andretti.
The Indy car entries will be headed by the 2005 Long Beach-winning car of Sebastien Bourdais, the #1 Ford Lola 05/00. Bourdais’ 2005 win was the first of three consecutive Long Beach wins the Frenchman would author for Newman/Haas Racing.
