From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Billy Winn (1905 Kansas City, Kansas – 20 August 1938 Springfield, Illinois) was an American racecar driver. Primarily a sprint car driver, Winn competed in four Indianapolis 500 races (1931, 1932, 1936, and 1937) and drove as a relief driver in 1933, 1934, 1935, and 1938. He also drove his single-gear sprint car in the 1936 and 1937 Vanderbilt Cup races, running near the front of both races but being sidelined by mechanical failure both years.
Winn was inducted in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2003.
