Constantine was the United States Sports Car Driver of the Year in 1960. He won the 1959 Nassau Trophy race and the 1956 grand prix at Watkins Glen (in a Jaguar D-type). He set course records at Lime Rock, (1:05.81), and Marlboro, in 1958, and he was one of the top-rated competitors in the 1959 Daytona, Fla. international speedway race.[1]
