Sam Posey

Sam Posey is one of the greats of American motor racing. Over 20 years, his career included drives in just about every single major category and event: from sportscars, Can-Am, Trans-Am, ICM, Formula A, USAC Indy Cars, IMSA and Formula 5000, to the Sebring 12hrs, Daytona 24hrs, Le Mans 24hrs, Indy 500 and even the Bathurst 1000. However, his career also featured two brief forays into F1 - one as the third works Surtess in 1971, and the second when his Indy Car team bought its own car for Posey to run in 1972. And, of course, since 1998 he has been one of the voices of F1 in the US, commentating for Speedvision.
