The story goes it was Chuck Booth. The mechanic is Wally Meskowski. Picture taken on Sept. 7, 1968 at the “Hoosier Hundred” USAC Champ Car race.
But on that day in question , Chuck Booth was running an Offy, [which the photo isn't]

It is also claimed to be Chuck Hulse at the Indiana State Fairgrounds
