"We lost a giant in the racing world today. Parnelli was one of the greatest and most versatile drivers to ever compete on race circuits around the world. He was very instrumental in the success of our Long Beach event from the very first race here in 1975. He was always very supportive and was one of the distinguished inductees to the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Judy and his family at this time." - Jim Michaelian, President & CEO, on behalf of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach
