No. 18, Mike Mosley, 1983 Kraco
March/Cosworth. Along with Bobby Unser and Johnny Rutherford, Mike Mosely was
one of my favorite drivers as a young boy. Unlike Unser and Rutherford, Mosley
never found the right combination to vault him to Indy glory. It wasn’t due to
lack of determination (twice he was badly injured at Indianapolis from crashes
caused by mechanical failure) or certainly driving talent. Twice, Mosley
started last in Indycar races and won, both at Phoenix and Milwaukee,
considered “driver’s tracks.” In 1983, Mosley was consistently among the
fastest in practice and appeared to have the pole locked up until an unknown
rookie named Teo Fabi stunningly broke the track record. In what was his last
500, Mosley wound up an appropriate 13th after a spin and contact in
Turn 1. #ThisIsMay #Indy500
