Lindsey Hopkins was an American sportsman car owner who continued entering cars at Indianapolis 500 races even when he could not obtain sponsorships. A regular from 1951 through 1982, fielding as many as four cars in some years, he won 11 American Automobile Association or United States Auto Club National Championship races.

[1][2][3]

His first Indianapolis 500 car was a dirt track machine obtained from Lou Moore in June 1950. Henry Banks drove it to that year's American Automobile Association National title as well as to second place in 1951. Longtime Lindsey Hopkins Racing driver Roger McCluskey won the 1972 Ontario 500 in Ontario, California, and the United States Auto Club National Championship in 1973.


Hopkins's team of drivers included Jim Rathmann (second at Indianapolis in 1957 and 1959), Bill Vukovich, A.J. Foyt, Lloyd Ruby, Bobby Marshman, Don Branson, Tony Bettenhausen, Gary Bettenhausen, Wally Dallenbach, Pat O’Connor, and George Amick, among numerous others. He was inducted to the Indy 500 Hall of Fame. [4]

Auto racing was not Lindsey's only interest. In 1967 he and fellow car owner John Mecom Jr bought the new franchise of the New Orleans Saints football team. He was also part owner of the Atlanta Falcons.[5][6]

In addition, Hopkins was an accomplished amateur magician. As a result, his cars featured a decal with a white rabbit in front of a top hat.

In 1934 the Roosevelt Hotel was acquired by Lindsey Hopkins Sr., and it was sold in 1941 to the Miami Dade County Public School System (MDCPS) by Lindsey Hopkins Jr. and renamed in honor of the father and son.[7][8][9]
