He competed in the Indianapolis 500 five times, including three while it was a Formula One championship race, winning the race in 1949 and finishing second the two previous years as well as the following year.
In 1950, he competed in the inaugural Formula One season, driving in five of seven events, including the Indianapolis 500, a race he had won the previous year. Much like the rest of the team, he did not find success in Europe, with only two thirteenth places to show for it, and after failing to qualify in Italy, he returned to the United States.
