He never raced in F1 or at Le Mans, so that is somewhat irrelevant, though he won the Daytona 24 hours in 1985. As for NASCAR he only raced five times.
However, what he will be remembered for is winning the Indy 500 four times, only three other drivers have done that. His first two wins were back to back in '70 and '71. He also won the Oval Triple Crown in 1978, the only driver to do so, and won the IndyCar driver's championship in 1983 and '85.
