Ewing built racing cars that were mainly used in the AAA National Series and the Indianapolis 500 . In 1950 Jimmy Davies drove an Ewing with an Offenhauser engine in Indianapolis and finished 17th. In 1960 Eddie Sachs and Al Herman competed in the 500-mile race, also with an Ewing-Offenhauser. Sachs retired after 132 laps after damage to the magneto.
