'''Johnnie Parsons''' (July 4, 1918 – September 8, 1984) was an American race car driver from [[Los Angeles]], [[California]] who won the [[Indianapolis 500]] in 1950.
Parsons had the dubious distinction of being the only Indianapolis 500 winner to have his name misspelled on the [[Borg-Warner Trophy]]. Silversmiths carved "Johnny" instead of "Johnnie." The error was corrected posthumously when the trophy was restored in 1991. He had a son named [[Johnny Parsons|Johnny]] who competed at Indy a dozen times.
