Manuel Leaonedas Ayulo (October 20, 1921 – May 17, 1955) was an American
racecar driver. His efforts, along with those of friend and teammate
Jack McGrath, helped establish
track roadsters as viable race cars. Ayulo was killed in practice for the
1955 Indianapolis 500 when his car crashed straight into a concrete wall. He was found to have not been wearing a seat belt and his pockets "were filled with wrenches".
