Brad Murphey (born December 27, 1955, in

Stephane Gregoire
on lap 29.

He also has prior experience in

Las Vegas
, but failed to do so.

Despite many websites stating that he is Australian, Murphey was born and raised in Arizona and has in fact never been to Australia. He believes the misconception was due to the fact that most of his race crew during his entire career was from Australia or New Zealand and that the phenomena of him being incorrectly identified as Australian predates the internet.[1]
