No. 17, Willy T. Ribbs, 1991 Cosby/McDonald’s Lola/Buick. Ribbs had a devil of
a time qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 because the ever-temperamental
Buick engine would fail after only a handful of laps. In the last hour of
qualifying, Ribbs shoved aside the frustration, shelved any jinxes and put it
in the show, bumping Ton Sneva in the process. The mechanical gremlins returned
on race day, however, and Ribbs lasted only five laps and finished 32nd. #ThisIsMay #Indy500
