It's of trivial interest Troy Ruttman was driving a 4.5 liter Indy car when the other winners of 1952 were driving 2.0 liter F2 cars.
Still counts though. I wouldn't have asked the question if the answer was McLaren
 
I know a lot of people don't consoder the 50's Indy 500 as part of the history so I included Bruce McLaren who was about 30 days older than Troy Ruttman was at the time of their first victories.

Jacky Ickx? Youngest polesitter, perhaps.
 
- Top sportscar driver
- Died behind the wheel
- Youngster in F1

Stefan Bellof? Maybe there's something stricken from the record from his 1984 season with Tyrrell. It's probably not right because the borrowed car aspect is throwing me. Maybe he was using Brundle's car.
