Jerry Hoyt was an American racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1950 and 1955. He drove for Stevens across his four starts in the championship, a single-class international series that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals in the same races.[1]
Hoyt's career on the Formula 1 grid yielded no wins or podiums. His best result was a 15th-place finish in the 1955 championship standings after one round that year. He raced against established professionals including Duane Carter and Jim Rathmann, finishing ahead of Rathmann once and beating Sam Hanks, another established professional, in one meeting. He spent three of his four starts driving Kurtis Kraft machinery for a team that fielded 87 drivers across its history and numbered Duane Carter among its stronger competitors.[2]
Hoyt died on July 11, 1955, following a crash in a sprint car race at Oklahoma City.
