Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the history of the Indianapolis 500!
 |
Penske Entertainment/Indianapolis Motor Speedway Lee Kunzman started 25th and finished seventh in the 1973 Indianapolis 500. |
Lee Kunzman was a rising star in the USAC ranks before his career was derailed by some serious crashes. In 1973, he joined the Lindsey Hopkins team and moved up from 25th to finish seventh in the rain-shortened race. This was a very good year for Hopkins as three of his cars were in the top 10: Roger McCluskey was third and Mel Kenyon fourth in addition to Kunzman in seventh. After his driving career, Kunzman was part of Ron Hemelgarn’s operation for many years.
