| Hungry for some sauerkraut? |
The year 1975 saw quite a few food-related entries for the Indianapolis 500. Johnny Rutherford drove the green (!), white and orange Gatorade McLaren, Mike Mosley piloted the yellow Sugaripe Prune Special and Jimmy Caruthers wheeled the orange and white Alex Foods Special, to name just a few. Then there was Roger McCluskey’s Silver Foss Special. Silver Floss is…sauerkraut. Yum! The underrated McCluskey, who won USAC titles in sprint cars, stock cars and championship (Indy) cars, came home fifth in the rain-shortened race. That was his second-best finish in 18 races at Indianapolis – he was third in 1973.
