INDIANAPOLIS, Sunday, July 20, 2014 - A statement from Indianapolis Motor Speedway President J. Douglas Boles about the death of James Garner:
"All of us at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are saddened by the
passing of James Garner. He was a true friend of the Indianapolis 500 and his
passion for the event, for the sport, and its fans made his many appearances at
the race something to look forward to each year. As a three-time pace car driver
for the 500 (1975, 1977 & 1985), Garner was also a skilled driver and will
be remembered as one of the first true celebrities to be given the honor of
leading the field of 33 to the green flag. Our thoughts and prayers are with
Garner's family, friends and fans."
