Billy Vukovich started 16th and finished second in the
1973 Indianapolis 500.

In 1973, Billy Vukovich was second behind Gordon Johncock, the highest finish for the son of a former winner to that point. Sugaripe Prune entries were mainstays at the Speedway throughout the 1970s, with Mike Mosley, Wally Dallenbach and Tom Sneva all driving for the team after Vukovich departed following the 1974 season.
