This article was honestly poorly written and weak. There's zero info on his sports car/road racing career in the career section (I'll add that heading and put a notice that it needs to be worked on), the format of the infobox is funky, and there was only one source in the article (and it was from Racing Reference) Now that we have links in his results tables, that one citation is unnecessary so now there's none.
