Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
 |
Majeske Collection Bobby Unser earned his fourth front-row start in five races in qualifying for the 1975 Indianapolis 500. He started third and collected his second 500 victory. It's hard to believe that was 50 years ago! |
30 Days in May Bonus: No. 48, Bobby Unser, 1975 Jorgensen
Eagle/Offy. After charging to the front early but failing to finish after
starting first and second in 1972 and 1973, respectively, Bobby Unser took a
more measured approach from his No. 3 starting position in 1975. He stayed with
the leaders all day, but led only 11 laps, including the last 10 before the
race was halted after Lap 174 following a torrential downpour. This was the
first 500 our entire family went to, and it was extremely hot. We drank all of
our Shurfine and Faygo pop well before the green flag, then had to suck on the
ice cubes from our Skotch Kooler to try to stay cool.
