OK, so this year’s
Indianapolis 500 won’t be run in the month of May. For many of us, however, May
is more than just a month – it’s a state of mind. So let’s still celebrate
great cars and drivers of the past anyway!
30 Days in May:
No. 16, Lee Kunzman, 1973 Ayr-Way/Lloyd’s Eagle/Offy. Lee Kunzman was
considered a rising star in the USAC ranks before his career was derailed by
some serious crashes. In 1973, he joined the Lindsey Hopkins team and moved up
from 25th to finish seventh in the rain-shortened race. This was a
very good year for Hopkins as all three of his cars were in the top 10: Roger
McCluskey was third and Mel Kenyon fourth in addition to Kunzman in seventh. After
his driving career, Kunzman was part of Ron Hemelgarn’s operation for many
years.
