One of the several Devin-based American racers?

This is not intended as a multiple guess...I'm just trying to narrow down a list:
is it one of the big names, such as Cleary-Echidna-Morgensen-Old Yaller-Pink Panther or Townsend?

Not any of those...I think I'd start with the event rather than the car to narrow it down.  The driver is the bigger name here (not exactly household, but well-known in the auto world).

Let me amend this a little before I send it out to everyone...the driver didn't really call the car a Devin, he named it a quite famous name it auto circles...

Not one of those...the name this car was called is probably one of the most famous race car names in history...and it's usually associated with a very famous man (not the driver/builder of this car though)...

Pike's Peak - 1965 or it may have been 1964?
