World Drivers' Championship career
[edit]The AAA/USAC-sanctioned Indianapolis 500 was included in the FIA World Drivers' Championship from 1950 through 1960. Drivers competing at Indianapolis during those years were credited with World Drivers' Championship participation, and were eligible to score WDC points alongside those which they may have scored towards the AAA/USAC National Championship.
Jackson participated in two World Drivers' Championship races at Indianapolis. His best finish was 15th place,[1] and he scored no World Drivers' Championship points.
