Harry MacDonald (racing driver)

Harry MacDonald (born September 27, 1940 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada) is a retired racecar driver. He raced in the UK Formula Super Vee series from 1977 to 1979 and in 1978 won a race at Texas World Speedway and finished third in the championship. In 1981 he attempted to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 but failed to do so, then competed in the USAC "Gold Crown" Championship Car race at Pocono Raceway where he finished 5th in a field of very few top drivers, then competed in the CART race at Michigan International Speedway and finished 21st after an engine failure. He resurfaced in 1983 to attempt to qualify for the Indy 500 but again failed to do so.

He was a lawyer by trade and ran a law firm in his hometown of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
