'''John Woodrow''' "'''Johnnie'''" '''Parsons''' (July 4, 1918 – September 8, 1984) was an American [[racing driver]] in the [[AAA Contest Board|AAA]] and [[United States Automobile Club|USAC]] [[Championship Car]] series. He was the [[1949 AAA Championship Car season|1949 AAA]] [[List of American open-wheel racing national champions|national champion]], and won the [[1950 Indianapolis 500]].
Parsons was known as a "charger" - needing others to compete against in order to bring out the best in him as a driver - frequently moving from near the back of the grid to the front in spectacular displays of driving ability. He drove for several seasons on a team owned by [[Frank Kurtis]], owner of [[Kurtis Kraft]], the leading constructor of AAA Championship cars during the early 1950s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Johnnie Parsons |url=https://www.mshf.com/hall-of-fame/inductees/johnnie-parsons.html |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=www.mshf.com}}</ref>
