Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
 |
Penske Entertainment/Indianapolis Motor Speedway Cale Yarborough started 32nd and finished 10th in the 1972 Indianapolis 500. |
NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough made the last of his four Indianapolis 500 starts in 1972 as part of the Gene White team. Yarborough was the slowest qualifier at 178.864 mph. To show how fast technology was changing during this time, that speed would’ve won the pole just a year earlier. Yarborough drove a steady race from his last-row starting position to finish 10th, his best at Indianapolis. Yarborough, who made 10 IndyCar starts in 1971 and finished 16th in the point standings, returned to stock cars after the 1972 500.
