No, it was Troy Ruttman

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
 
Because it was still part of the F1 calendar and counts as an official race.
 
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.
 
I'm going to repeat this because no one has taken a stab at it yet.

My question. Only two Nascar races in History have featured 4 siblings in the same race. Name the siblings and races they happened at.

The Flocks, Fonty, Tim, Bob and Ethel(!) Daytona Beach, 1949
 
Many considered me the fastest and most successful sports car driver of the time, and in F1 I set a qualifying record that stood for 13 years and two months. Who am I?

Jacky Ickx? Youngest polesitter, perhaps.

A good, logical guess - if guess it is - but off by a few months.
Hint - I accomplished my feat in a privately entered borrowed car.
 
- 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.

You've picked up the spoor and are excited by the thrill of the hunt. I like that. But now you've wandered off the path.

So you think I'm that well-tailored matinee idol of all Italy? To dance with me, you must be more forceful and assertive, and not so timid.
 
Oh, I was right. I had no idea what that previous reply actually meant.
