Marlboro.  Texaco.  Goodyear.

American companies.

What drove American money out of the sport?

Don't forget, the Cosworth engine also carried Ford branding, too.

Texaco is a subsidiary brand of Chevron now. I haven't seen a Texaco station around this area for years.

Back from 1976 on there were two USGP's every season. For several seasons, there was the USGP East @ Watkins Glen & the USGP West @ Long Beach.
