'''John "Johnnie" Parsons''' (born 4 July 1918 in Los Angeles, died 8 September 1984 in Van Nuys) was an American racing driver who competed in and won the Indianapolis 500 while it was a Formula 1 world championship round. He won the [[1950 Indianapolis 500]], becoming the youngest driver to win a race, lead a lap and score fastest laps in the then-short history of Formula 1, these records being respectively broken by [[José Froilán González]] at the [[1951 British Grand Prix]], [[Jimmy Davies]] at the [[1951 Indianapolis 500]] and [[José Froilán González]] again at the [[1952 Italian Grand Prix]]. He surpassed [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] in all records.

'''John "Johnnie" Parsons''' (born 4 July 1918 in Los Angeles, died 8 September 1984 in Van Nuys) was an American racing driver who competed in Formula 1 in 1950. The AAA National champion in 1949, Parsons was signed by [[Aston Martin]] as their second driver for the inaugural Formula One season alongside [[Raymond Sommer]], but after two fruitless races, he was fired in favour of his countryman [[Cecil Green]]. Parsons continued his successful career in the United States following this stint in Formula One.

*Drivers often drove for two teams at once in the Indy 500. In 1954 Parsons retired from the race in his main car, before relieving [[Art Cross]]. In 1955, Parsons was hired as relief driver for [[Spider Webb]], who failed to qualify. In 1957, he failed to qualify his main car and was hired by [[Sumar]]/[[Chapman Root]] to replace [[Dick Rathmann]], who had been mugged and couldn't start the race.
 
−
† Denotes shared drive with [[Art Cross]], [[Sam Hanks]], [[Andy Linden]] and [[Jimmy Davies]] after retiring in his own car.

John "Johnnie" Parsons (born 4 July 1918 in Los Angeles, died 8 September 1984 in Van Nuys) was an American racing driver who competed in Formula 1 in 1950. The AAA National champion in 1949, Parsons was signed by Aston Martin as their second driver for the inaugural Formula One season alongside Raymond Sommer, but after two fruitless races, he was fired in favour of his countryman Cecil Green. Parsons continued his successful career in the United States following this stint in Formula One.
