Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!

Majeske Collection Peter Revson was the first qualifier for the 1973 Indianapolis 500. |
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.

Majeske Photo It was great to see this car again. Photo was taken at Carb Day a few years ago. |

Majeske Collection I created this tribute to Peter Revson many years ago. |
