The Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame honors key contributors to motorsports and annually inducts new members during Grand Prix week.
In 2006, the City of Long Beach and the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach honored Phil Hill and Dan Gurney, both considered legends in the field of motorsports. In 2007, the inductees included Chris Pook, the founder of the Long Beach Grand Prix; Brian Redman, the first winner in 1975; and the Newman-Haas racing team, who have more
Long Beach Grand Prix wins than any other racing team.
In 2008, the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame was honored to add two consummate racing legends: Mario Andretti and Parnelli Jones, champion drivers who won races on every conceivable type of track driving every type of racing car. |
