Albert Wayne Ewing (March 27, 1927 – February 12, 1986) was an American race car builder.[1] Ewing started as engineer on drag-racers, before joining as a metal-working engineer on the Indy car team assembled by A. J. Watson. Ewing occasionally branched out as an independent builder,[2][3] and his cars competed in several Indianapolis 500s.[4][5] Notably, Eddie Sachs qualified on the pole for the 1960 Indianapolis 500 driving a Ewing-constructed car.[6]
