Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
Majeske CollectionIn 1973, Peter Revson started 10th and finished 31st in what was his last
Indianapolis 500.
A front-row starter the previous
two 500s, Peter Revson was the first qualifier for the 1973 race. He started 10th
and finished 31st after crashing coming out of Turn 4 after only
three laps. That year, I remember my mom taking me to a drug store in the
Speedway Shopping Center to meet Revson, who was promoting Rev-Up vitamins, and
get an autographed picture, which I still have.
