I can find no evidence of a relationship to an Indy racer.

Well, I just learned something. This person is connected (though not a blood relation) to an Indy car driver.

Don't lock it – it was just a shot in the dark..
Somehow he reminded me of a Indy racing car that was part of a concept art installation. Unfortunately I do not have the time to search, but have it somewhere at home on my HD..

I don't think this artist has ever piloted an Indy car, but was an active fan who attended the races in person - until something very bad happened.

Could it be Roscoe Arbuckle in his younger days?

That just had to be a clue...  ;D

"Comin' Home, Baby" was a song recorded in 1962 by American singer, composer and actor Mel Tormé.

The puzzle picture is from Car Life magazine, May 1954, when he contributed a road test article on the Austin Healey 100.
