Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the history of the Indianapolis 500!
Majeske Photo CollectionPeter Revson had an all-too-brief career at Indianapolis.
30 Days in May: No.
15, Peter Revson, 1973 Gulf McLaren/Offy. 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.
