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. 12, Bobby Allison, 1973 Sunoco DX McLaren/Offy. It’s always great when a
star driver from another discipline takes on the challenge of the Indianapolis
500. Unfortunately, mechanical problems sidelined Bobby Allison from the get-go
and he finished 32nd after just 1 lap. The NASCAR ace returned in
1975, but the results weren’t much better as Allison finished 25th
in that race. On the other hand, Bobby’s brother Donnie did quite well in his
two Indianapolis 500 appearances. Donnie Allison finished fourth in 1970 and
sixth in 1971, completing 399 out of a possible 400 laps.
