* From 1979-1995, the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race and the American Open Wheel National Championship were sanctioned by separate organizations, USAC and CART, respectively. From 1980-1995, winners of a USAC Gold Crown Championship were officially declared, but as such championship consisted solely of Indianapolis, all such winners are indistinguishable from Indianapolis winners in those same years.

** Retroactively declared and awarded, 1951.

*** Declared and awarded, but retroactively re-declared and -awarded, 1951, to Tommy Milton.
