JOHNNY RUTHERFORD 1974 TEAM MCLAREN BELL STAR

Lone Star JR...Johnny Rutherford...one of the greatest drivers of all time in the history of open wheel racing in North America. This beautiful helmet replicates Rutherford's helmet as he wore it as he captured the first of his three Indianapolis 500 Mile Race wins in 1974. Mechanical problems kept Rutherford from posting a speed on the opening day of qualifications. Though he posted the 2nd fastest quailfying speed in the field behind A.J. Foyt he would start from the 25th position because he was a second day qualifier. Lonestar JR was the class of the field on race day and captured his first Indy 500 win with a very smooth and calculated drive to the front.
