He&#8217;s been a driver, team owner, and manufacturer, and has won races doing all at the same time. Gurney has competed successfully at Daytona, Sebring, the N&uuml;rburgring, Indianapolis and Le Mans. <\/p>\n<p>In August, Gurney&#8217;s race exploits will be honored when he&#8217;s featured as the first guest at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, known until last year as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/monterey+historics\/\">Monterey Historic Automobile Races<\/a>. Gurney&#8217;s history with Laguna Seca dates back to the first professional race held at the track,  and won there in 1962. The Reunion will host a display of Gurney-related vehicles from Formula 1, Indy, IMSA GTP, Can-Am and Trans-Am, and the man himself will be on hand for a public interview and an autograph session.
