Shelby History - Ken, Carroll, and ???

Okay, in the attached photo I recognize Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby, but I personnally don't recognize the guy on the right. Can anyone help identify him? Also, what is the context of the photo?

I was up at the Shelby museum in Las Vegas last week and I picked up a few of these pictures on steel plates for garage art. My favorite is Shelby driving the "birdcage" Maserati. The attached photo is cool for the Carroll/Ken connection (Is that Dan Gurney?) The third one is Carroll post-race in his striped overalls surrounded by congratulatory crowd.

Thanks!

He looks like Lloyd Ruby.

Thanks for the response. Found this on Wikipedia on Lloyd Ruby:

"Ruby also participated in endurance racing and won the 1965 Daytona 2000 km and the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona, both times partnering with Ken Miles. He and Miles also won the 1966 12 Hours of Sebring and the 1966 and 1968 World Sportscar Championship. Ruby also teamed with Denny Hulme in a Ford GT 40 Mk IV for the 1967 24 Hours of LeMans. He also raced in the 1961 United States Grand Prix."
