What are the driver/car combination, and what is the race?
Experts?
Mickey Thompson Special?
I think it is the 1963 Trenton 200 Champcar race and alongside Jim Clark that is Chuck Rodee in the Burnett-Chevrolet

You've got the race! (I tried to cover any clues on Jim Clark's Lotus!). However, it's not Rodee. The race number is difficult to read.....
hmmm ... that's odd. I have this photo and it is labelled Jim Clark and Chuck Rogee, note the misspelling. Rodee was running number 87 I believe - which fits the possible number on the nose.
I have it that the only other cars in the race with a no. ending in 7 were conventional Indy roadsters, Kurtis or Watson.

Whoops! I have two of my puzzles muddled up in my notes - many apologies. In fact, I reckon you're spot-on. It's one of Stan Burnett's early creations. In addition, the original caption misidentified the car as #37, a Kurtis.
Another good point to you.
I thank you.
