February 10, 2025

1963 Indianapolis 500 winner Parnelli Jones entered the Trans Am Series near the end of his illustrious racing career, which included numerous wins in NASCAR, USAC Stock Cars, ARCA and what is now INDYCAR. Driving in the Trans Am Series from 1967 until 1971, Jones scored seven wins in only 29 races in the series. His best seasons were behind the wheel of Bud Moore Engineering’s Ford Mustang, scoring two victories in 1969, and five wins in 1970, which allowed Ford to capture the manufacturers’ crown.
