Racing career edit

Gulotta competed in American Championship Car Racing and finished eighth in the 1927 National Championship driving a Miller, finishing third in the 1927 Indianapolis 500. After that season primarily focused on the Indianapolis 500. In the 1928 Indianapolis 500 Gulotta was leading less than 18 laps from the finish when his fuel line clogged forcing him to stop for repairs. He ultimately finished tenth.[1] In all, he made thirteen starts in the Indy 500 with a best finish of third in 1927, his second start.[2]
