Editing Sutton (constructor)

{{Infobox company

'''Sutton''' was an American racing car constructor which participated in a single  [[Formula One#Distinction between Formula One and World Championship races|FIA World Championship]] race - the [[1959 Indianapolis 500]]. They scored no championship points.

Their car, a Dayton Steel Foundry/Walther, was powered by a KK500G [[Offenhauser]] I4 engine and was driven by [[Mike Magill]]. Qualifying in 31st place, the car completed 45 laps before an accident forced Magill's retirement. Magill was squeezed into the outside wall by the spinning car of [[Chuck Weyant]], and Magill flipped over, sliding upside down off the track and into the infield. Drivers [[Jud Larson]] and [[Red Amick]], who spun trying to avoid the accident, both stopped and lifted the damaged Sutton upright to free Magill. Their actions, and the roll bars which were made mandatory for the [[1959 Formula One season|1959 season]], contributed to saving Magill's life.
