'''Frank Jack Dochnal''' (October 8, 1920 – July 7, 2010) was a [[Auto racing|race car driver]] from [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]], [[United States]].  He had some success in local racing in Missouri before making a single attempt to qualify for a [[Formula One]] Grand Prix at the age of 43, with a [[Cooper T51]] in the [[1963 Mexican Grand Prix]].  Unfortunately, this bid failed after he crashed during unofficial practice.  At this point he retired from race driving and continued to work as a race mechanic. He later worked for [[Howard Hughes]] and as a technical official for [[United States Auto Club|USAC]].<ref>[http://www.oldracingcars.com/driver/Frank_J_Dochnal Frank Dochnal at OldRacingCars.com]</ref>
