Ruby won seven times on the USAC Championship Car Series in his career and also had endurance racing victories in the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring and the United States Grand Prix.

Five other times he placed in the top 10. In 1991, he was inducted into the Indianapolis 500 Hall of Fame.
