The Indianapolis 500 is an automobile race held annually at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, an enclave suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana. The event is held over Memorial Day (originally Decoration Day) weekend, which is typically the last weekend in May. It is contested as part of the Verizon IndyCar Series, the top level of American Championship Car racing, an open-wheel formula colloquially known as "Indy Car Racing". The name of the race is often shortened to Indy 500.

The event, billed as The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, is considered part of the Triple Crown of Motorsport, which comprises three of the most prestigious motorsports events in the world. The official attendance is not disclosed by Speedway management, but the permanent seating capacity is upwards of 250,000, and infield patrons raise the race-day attendance to approximately 300,000.

The inaugural running was won by Ray Harroun in 1911. The race celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, and the 100th running was held in 2016. Alexander Rossi is the defending champion. The most successful drivers are A. J. Foyt, Al Unser, and Rick Mears, each of whom have won the race four times. The active driver with the most victories is Hélio Castroneves, with three. Rick Mears holds the record for most career pole positions with six. The most successful car owner is Roger Penske, owner of Team Penske, which has 16 total wins and 17 poles.

Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on March 29, 2008, at 20:30.

The 1912 Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, or International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race, the second such race in history, was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday, May 30, 1912.

In the aftermath of victory by Ray Harroun in the single-seat Marmon "Wasp" in the first 500-Mile Race the year before, new rules make the presence of riding mechanics mandatory; maximum engine size remains 600 cubic inches (9.83 liters) displacement. At $50,000, the race purse is nearly double that of 1911.

Out of 29 original entries, 24 qualify for the race by sustaining a speed faster than a minimum of 75 mph (120.7 km/h) for a full lap, an increase from the quarter-mile qualifying distance of the inaugural year. David L. Bruce-Brown runs fastest at 88.45 mph (142.35 km/h), but starting positions are again determined by entry date. Lining up five cars to the first four rows and four to a fifth, a change from the previous year's starting method is movement of the pace car, a Stutz, from the inside of the first row to out in front of the field.

Upon wave of the then-red starting flag, Teddy Tetzlaff takes the lead in a Fiat from the third starting position in the center of the first row, and leads for the first two laps before being overtaken by the grey # 4 Mercedes of Italian-born Ralph DePalma.

DePalma's domination of most of the event is total, as he builds an eventual five-and-a-half lap, eleven minute advantage over second, and leads uncontested for the next 194 laps...before suffering one of the most confounding mechanical failures in motorsport history at the beginning of lap 197, as his Mercedes begins misfiring, and slowing on the mainstretch at the conclusion of the lap. Nursed on the 198th lap by DePalma at reduced speed, the car finally loses all power at the end of the backstretch on lap 199, as a broken connecting rod rips a hole in the crankcase.

With the car's momentum carrying it around to the fourth turn, DePalma and riding mechanic Rupert Jeffkins then enter themselves into motor racing lore, as well as inspire the cheers of the more than 80,000 in attendance, as they climb from the vehicle and begin pushing it down the five-eighths of a mile mainstretch toward the start-finish line.

Indianapolis driver Joe Dawson, running in the second position for most of the race in his blue and white National Motor Vehicle Company entry, finally passes DePalma midway down the mainstretch to assume the lead for the concluding two laps, the fewest led to date in either a single race or an entire career by a race winner, following DePalma's 196 laps in the lead being the most ever in a race by a non-winner. Finishing more than ten minutes ahead of newly-second place Tetzlaff, Dawson completes another two laps for good measure upon fear of a scoring miscue. Sometime thereafter, DePalma and Jeffkins finally bring their car across the line, but in twofold futile endeavour: Speedway rules, requiring that all entries move under their own power, mark DePalma's final number of circuits at 198, and the push across the line, even if to be counted, bringing them only to the beginning of the final lap.

Dawson's run in the American-manufactured, four-cylinder National, with a winning time of 6:21:06 and averaging 78.719 mph (126.686 km/h), is twenty-one minutes two seconds faster than the previous 1911 record; he garners $20,000 and additional contingency awards.

Throughout the remainder of the field, only the top ten finishers earn prize money, rules stipulating all entries complete the 500 miles to collect. Ralph Mulford, involved in the controversial finish the year before, and being forced to stop numerous times due to clutch problems in his Knox, finds irritation with the requirement and proceeds to drive on, long after all others are presented the chequered flag...and even after Speedway president Carl Fisher and starter Fred Wagner leave the grounds (the latter after getting into an argument over whether to flag Mulford off before he had completed the distance, Wagner in favor and Fisher against).

Through numerous accounts of the run, including his reportedly changing shock absorbers for a gentler ride, as well as stopping for a dinner-on-the-go of fried chicken and ice-cream with his riding mechanic, Mulford's finish finally arrives, amid deserted grandstands and a setting sun over the mainstraightaway, 8:53:00 after the start, and with an average speed of 56.285 mph (90.582 km/h), which remains a record: the slowest finishing speed to date in 500 history.

Fred Frame had been knocking at the door for a long time, and in 1932 he opened it. Frame, with mechanic Jerry Houck riding beside him, won the "500" at 104.144 mph, a speed that broke the seven-year-old record set by Peter DePaolo.

It was the second Speedway victory for car owner/builder Harry Hartz. For a while, it looked as though Hartz had a shot at finishing 1-2. No. 2 starter Billy Arnold wrested the lead from pole-sitter Lou Moore on the second lap, but Arnold and mechanic Spider Matlock rlled over on lap 60, handing the lead to Bob Carey.

Fred Fame still holds the record for winning the Indianapolis 500 from the lowest starting position, have begun the race in 27th place.

1956 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on January 28, 2008, at 22:01.

The 1956 Indianapolis 500 was held on Wednesday, 30 May 1956 at Indianapolis. As with other Indy 500s of the 1950s, it was counted as a round of the World Drivers' Championship.

The 1956 race would be the first 500 to be governed by the United States Automobile Club as the American Automobile Association withdrew the previous August. Another change would have a more immediate effect on the current race. The track had been resurfaced with asphalt with only a small line of bricks still remaining on the main stretch. With the new surface, a new track record was expected. Pat Flaherty did not disappoint with a pole speed of 145.596mph, over 4.5mph faster than the 1954 record. 29 drivers qualified opening weekend. The second weekend saw heavy rain that completely canceled Saturday and left only a small window on Sunday for 4 drivers to fill the field. Nino Farina was one of the drivers left out when he didn’t get a chance to qualify his Bardahl-Ferrari.

The early part of the race turned into a three man duel between Russo, O’Connor, and Flaherty. Russo was the first to retire when his tyre failed and his car crashed and caught fire. At quarter distance due to yellows and the pit stops, Parsons took the lead followed by Freeland. By the 200 mile mark Flaherty took over the lead followed by Freeland, Sweikert, and Parsons but Hanks was working his way through the fields after sustaining some damage in the Russo crash, eventually taking second. Flaherty had built up such a lead that he was able to make his last pit stop and remain in front. He crossed the finish line with Hanks the only other car on the lead lap. The only real change in the top cars toward the end was both O’Connor and Jim Rathmann having to drop back with mechanical problems while both drivers were in the top 5.

Notes

Pole position: Pat Flaherty - 4:07.26 (time over four laps)

Fastest Lead Lap: Paul Russo - 1:02.32

Shared Drive: Car# 10: Ed Elisian 123 laps and Eddie Russo 37 laps

1958 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on February 9, 2008, at 08:54.

The 1958 Indianapolis 500 was held on Friday, May 30, 1958 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The event was part of the 1958 World Drivers' Championship.

It is best known for a massive first lap incident that resulted in the death of fan-favorite driver Pat O'Connor.

Dick Rathmann and Ed Elisian started the race on the front row, with Jimmy Reece on the outside of the front row. Elisian spun in turn 3 of the first lap, and collected Rathmann, sending them both into the wall, and starting a 15-car pileup.

According to AJ Foyt, O'Conner's car hit Reece's car, sailed fifty feet in the air, landed upside down, and burst into flames. Although O'Connor was incinerated in the accident, medical officials said that he was probably killed instantly from a fractured skull.

Widely blamed for the accident, Elisian was suspended by USAC for the accident (reinstated a few days later), and was shunned by many in the racing community. Allegedly, drivers prevented firefighters from reaching Elisian's burning car the following August at Milwaukee, and Elisian died in the fire.

Following the accident, race officials announced that they would change the starting procedure, abandoning the single-file trip down pit lane that was used in 1957 and 1958. Also, for the 1959 Indy 500, metal roll bars welded to the frame behind the driver's head were mandated, and helmets were required to pass safety certification by Speedway medical officials.

Notes

Fastest Lead Lap: Tony Bettenhausen 1:02.370

A 15 car pileup accident on the opening lap involved and dealt fatal injuries to Pat O'Connor,who had appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in the week leading up to the race and had finished 8th in the previous year's Indy 500.

Last Appearances: George Amick (killed in 1959 USAC race at Daytona)

1964 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on March 27, 2008, at 21:31.

Results of the 1964 Indianapolis 500 held at Indianapolis on Saturday, May 30, 1964.

It is best known for a fiery second-lap accident that resulted in the deaths of Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald, involving a total of seven cars.

MacDonald was driving a car owned and designed by Mickey Thompson, the #83 "Sears-Allstate Special". It was a rear-engined car that first raced in 1963, updated with a streamlined body for 1964. The car was designed to start with enough fuel to run the full race, housed within a rubber bladder in an enclosed tank that ran between the tires on the left side. The car also featured Sears tires. It was far ahead of its time, but was badly designed, poorly built and difficult to drive. It handled badly, a condition made worse when the body was modified to accommodate the USAC-mandated 15 inch tires. Graham Hill tested the vehicle before Indy, but refused to drive it in 1963. Masten Gregory crashed earlier in the month due to aerodynamic lift. Other drivers took the advice of Gregory, and stayed away from the Thompson cars. Jim Clark told MacDonald on Carb Day, "Get out of that car mate, just walk away." The ride also offered to Mario Andretti, who turned it down due Andretti's concerns over his lack of experience and the fact that the ride was only for Indy. According to long-time motor sports journalist Chris Economaki, MacDonald never practiced with a full load of fuel due to Thompson's focus on high speeds.

In the first lap of his first Indy 500 race in 1964, MacDonald passed at least 5 other cars. As MacDonald passed Johnny Rutherford and Sachs, Rutherford noticed that MacDonald's car was very loose, even throwing grass and dirt up from the edge of the track. Rutherford later said that, watching the behavior of MacDonald's car, he thought, "Whoa, he's either gonna win this thing or crash."

On the second lap, MacDonald lost control coming off the fourth turn. As the car began to slide, he came across the track and hit the inside wall, igniting the gasoline in his fuel tanks (approximately 70-100 gallons) which caused a massive fire. His car then slid back across the track, causing seven more cars to be involved. Ronnie Duman crashed, spun in flames and hit the pit lane wall, and was burned. Bobby Unser hit another car, and Johnny Rutherford's car on its left rear tire, and crashed into the outside wall. Chuck Stevenson and Norm Hall also crashed.

Sachs, blinded by the smoke, hit MacDonald's burning car, and died in the fire before he could be freed. According to eye-witnesses, he was burned alive. His car, including his body, was covered by a tarp before being towed away during the cleanup. A lemon that had been on a string around Sach's neck was found inside of Rutherford's car after the crash.

MacDonald was pulled from the wreck and taken into the infield hospital, burned beyond recognition. His lungs were seared from flame inhalation, causing acute pulmonary oedema. He died at at 1:20 in the afternoon.

The crash was well-documented in film and still images, and shown world-wide. For the first time in its history, a red flag stopped the Indy 500. Partially in response to media pressure, USAC mandated that cars carry less fuel, a change that also led every team to switch from gasoline to methanol prior to the next year's Indy 500.

1967 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on December 12, 2007, at 09:48.

Race Summary

This unexpected 2 day event began with gray skies but the race was underway as Parnelli Jones (the 6th qualifer in the race) is in first place before half a lap, with Gurney second and A.J. Foyt in third. Parnelli leads all 18 laps before rain halts the race. The next day is sunny, and the race resumes with Jones leading most of the race. Along the way many of the favorites have problems: defending champion Graham Hill (who almost didn't make the race) is out after only five laps after the restart. his teammate Jim Clark blows an engine five laps later. Leader Jones has a scare on lap 70 in an altercation with Lee Roy Yarbrough. Both cars spin, but are able tocontinue racing, however, Dan Gurney briefly takes the lead. But Gurney is forced out of the race after 160 laps. Meanwhile, Mario Andretti loses a wheel on his 59th lap. Carl Williams and Bob Veith tangle in turn three and are both ellimnated. Wally Dalenbach crashes on the main straightway, and Cale Yarborough spins out during the caution! Several cars get by Cale, but george Snider and Lee Roy Yarbrough both crash into the infield ditch trying to avoid him. Arnie Knepper is out with engine failure, while Jackie Stewart loses an engine and heads back to the pits on foot. Later, Cale Yarborough (who was able to get back into the race) and Mel Kenyon crash, putting both out of the race for good. Bud Tingelstad spins out after 182 laps. With 12 laps left, Gordon Johncock spins out. At this point Parnelli Jones has the race wrapped up with almost a full lap lead over A.J. Foyt. But amazingly, with only four laps to go, a 6-dollar transmission bearing fails, once again sealing the fate of the STP Granatelli team. A.J. Foyt drives into first place with only four laps to go, but the drama is still not over. A four car-crash at the north end of the straightaway forces Foyt into some savvy driving to miss spinning cars as he takes the checkered flag for his third win at Indianapolis! Foyt's winning speed of 151.207 MPH is a new record.

1968 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on December 12, 2007, at 09:48.

Time Trials

1968 was the second and eventuallly the final year the controversial turbine cars were running in the 1968 race classic. In qualifications, Graham Hill the 1966 champion in the #70 STP Turbine is first to qualify, and sets a new qualifying record! Later, his STP turbine teammate joe Leonard in #60 wins the pole position with a speed of 171.559 MPH.

Race Day

At the drop of the green flag, Joe Leonard in the #60 STP Turbine leaps in the lead, with Bobby Unser in second and Roger McCluskey up to third at the end of lap 1. After only nine laps, Jim Hurtubise in the PepsiCo Frito-lay special has burned a piaton, and is out, finishing 30th! About this time, Bobby Unser is now hard after Leonard, and at the endo of the main straightway he passes to take the lead! On lap 41, the caution flag flies for the first time when Al Unser loses a wheel and hits the first-turn wall, with Arnie Knepper and Gary Bettenhausen also involved. After 200 miles, A.J. Foyt is out with a blown engine and the defending champion's bid for his 4th Indy win is over for this year. After 110 laps, Graham Hill loses a wheel and smashes into the turn two wall, bringing out the second caution. On lap 127, Mel Kenyon and rookie Billy Vukovich tangle in turn four. Both are able to re-enter the race, but Johnny Rutherford, trying to slow down, is rear-ended by Jim Mcelreath. Mike Mosley also loses it in turn four trying to avoid the mess.

When Bobby Unser makes his last pit stop, his car is stuck in high gear. As he leaves his pit struggling to get to high speed, both Leonard and Ruby pass him. With only 16 laps to go, Joe Leonard still has the #60 turbine in first place, but on the backstretch, but on the backstretch, Carl Williams hits the wall, bringing out the final caution. After cleanup, the green comes out with 9 laps to go, and several cars between leader Leonard and second place Unser. but the turbine is slowing and coasting to a stop in turn one, with Bobby Unser now sweeping the lead! At this moment at the other end of the track, the STP Turbine team suffers a double whammy as #20 Art Pollard in the remaining turbine coasts to a stop with the same program as Leonard - a broken fuel pump drive! Unser drove the final 9 laps to win his first of eventually 3 Indianapolis 500 victories for Bobby Unser.

Topics

Jim Hurtubise became the last driver to qualify the race with a front engine roadster.

Much of the film of the race was used in the movie Winning starring Paul Newman.

1981 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on December 12, 2007, at 23:08.

Recap

After a pitstop on lap 149 Bobby Unser and Mario Andretti pass cars under the caution flag lineup as they exit the pits. Unser goes on to win the race, his third career Indy victory, and Andretti finishes second. However, when official results are posted Monday morning, Unser was penalized one lap for the infraction, and Andretti was declared the winner. Unser's Penske Team appeals the decision, and in October, a USAC appeals court reverses the ruling, reinstating Unser to first place, and instead fines him $40,000. USAC later acts to clarify its vague yellow flag rules and bring them into line with CART's existing rules stating that cars rejoining from the pits during a caution must not pass any cars in front of them, lapped or otherwise. After being declared the winner following this long and contentious debate, Unser announces his retirement.

Results

Failed to Qualify: Tom Bagley (#43), Steve Ball (#85), Pat Bedard (#17), Jim Buick (#86), Phil Caliva (#47, #87), Larry Cannon (#96, #99), Steve Chassey (#64), Bill Engelhart (#29), Dick Ferguson (#95), Bob Frey (#71), Spike Gehlhausen (#23, #34), Ken Hamilton (#63), Bob Harkey (#71, #89, #96), Jim Hurtubise (#65), Herm Johnson (#28), Bubby Jones (#58), Steve Kinser (#78), Phil Krueger (#89), Greg Leffler (#43, #44), Harry MacDonald (#45), John Mahler (#92, #93), John Martin (#57), Jim McElreath (#26), Chip Mead (#49), Roger Mears (#98), Jerry Miller (#65), Johnny Parsons (#8, #12, #18), Roger Rager (#21, #66), Larry Rice (#52), Tim Richmond (#21), Joe Saldana (#24, #69), Dick Simon (#22), Jerry Sneva (#17, #34, #72, #74), George Snider (#84) Bill Tempero (#15), Phil Threshie (#67), Rich Vogler (#44, #46), Bill Vukovich II (#42), Frank Weiss (#93), Dale Whittington (#91)

Notes: When official results were posted at 8 am the day after the race, Mario Andretti, who had finished second, was awarded the victory after Bobby Unser, whose car had finished first, was penalized one lap and dropped from the first place to second for passing other cars illegally under a yellow caution flag. Unser appealed the decision to the U.S. Auto Club and was upheld. A panel ruled the following October that the penalty was too severe and instead fined Unser $40,000, and restored the victory to him. Andretti was returned to second place.

Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on January 31, 2008, at 02:38.

Recap

As the field headed down the mainstrech to take the green flag, Kevin Cogan starting in the middle of the front row, suddenly veered hard right into the car of A.J. Foyt. Cogan bounced off of Foyt, and directly into the path of Mario Andretti. Both cars were heavily damaged. The ensuing mayhem also took out Roger Mears and Dale Whittington. Foyt's car suffered minor suspension damage, but he was able to continue. The race was red flagged (it had not yet technically started), and the field stopped while the accident was cleaned up. A tremendous controversey erupted between Andretti and Cogan, and all blame was placed firmly on Cogan by competitors, media, and observers alike. Though the cause of the accident was never revealed by the Penske Team, most experts believe that either a CV joint seized, or the rear brakes locked up, causing the right-rear wheel to pivot. Such a mechanical failure was likely not the driver's fault, but Cogan's career never recovered.

Late in the race, during Rick Mears' final pit stop, he lost several seconds after he bumped into a backmarker. His crew proceeded to fill the entire tank, which gave him more than enough fuel to make it to the finish. Two laps later, Gordon Johncock made his stop, but his crew only filled the tank with enough fuel to make it to the finish. With less than 15 laps to go, trailing Johncock by more than eleven seconds, Mears' fully-fueled car was handling much better. He started closing in, more than a second per lap. With one lap to go, Mears pulled alongside, but Johncock refused to give up the lead, blocking Mears in the first turn, and holding on for the win by 0.16 seconds. The outcome was the closest-ever in race history, and would stand as the closest finish for ten years.

1983 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on January 13, 2008, at 22:02.

Recap

Three-time runner up Tom Sneva is stuck behind the lapped car of Al Unser, Jr., who is helping protect the lead of his father Al Unser despite being shown the blue "move-over" flag. Sneva takes advantage of some more slower cars to pass both Unsers in daring moves on the mainstretch and third turn on lap 190 and goes on to win. Teo Fabi joins Walt Faulkner in 1950 as one of only two rookies ever to qualify for the pole-position.

Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on January 13, 2008, at 20:56.

Recap

An exciting first half turns dull as defending champion Tom Sneva and Mario Andretti fall out late with mechanical trouble, leaving Rick Mears the winner by over two laps. Rookies Roberto Guerrero, Al Holbert, and Michael Andretti become a rare trio of first-timers to finish in the top five. Sportswriter-turned-racer Pat Bedard suffers a severe crash in the northchute, flipping and destroying his machine, though only suffering a cracked jaw from an accident appearing fatal to many. The 1984 race has the distinction of having the most entries (117), and the most cars to actually be seen in the garage (87).

1985 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on January 13, 2008, at 02:28.

Recap

Danny Sullivan beats Mario Andretti by 2.5 seconds despite spinning a full 360 degrees between the first and second turn when battling with Andretti on lap 120. Sullivan becomes the third driver to both spin and recover and later lead the same race, after Jim Clark in 1966 and Parnelli Jones in 1967. Sullivan does not, however, duplicate Clark's '66 feat of two spins and two saves in the same race. The Buick engine made its first significant presence at Indy, as drivers Pancho Carter and Scott Brayton qualified first and second with the engine. However, both cars dropped out within the first 19 laps.

According to commentators of the telecast, it was said the Buick was faster than the traditional Cosworth engine, but its reliability was questioned early.

Brayton did not have a major sponsor until after his qualifying run. Hardee's picked up the sponsorship.

Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on March 27, 2008, at 03:28.

Recap

Rain postponed the race Sunday and Monday, and Speedway management decides to hold the race the following Saturday. On a final restart on lap 198 Bobby Rahal takes the lead from Kevin Cogan. Rahal beats Cogan by 1.4 seconds and Rick Mears in third by just 1.8 seconds. Jim Trueman, Rahal’s car owner, dies of cancer eleven days later. This year's 500 is the first to be broadcast live from start to finish by ABC, instead of on the tape-delay basis dating back to 1971.

Results

Failed to Qualify: Steve Bren (#25), Steve Chassey (#56/#65), Derek Daly (#28), Spike Gehlhausen (#10), Herm Johnson (#28), Rupert Keegan (#56/#65), Jan Lammers (#98), Rick Miaskiewicz (#19), Mike Nish (#44/#45), John Paul, Jr. (#31)

Notes:

Race scheduled to run on Sunday, May 25 but rain forced postponement first until Monday, May 26, and then Saturday, May 31.

Mario Andretti originally qualified in the second row, but a practice crash required him to start a back-up car at the rear of the field on race day.

Dennis Firestone, George Snider, and Jacques Villeneuve were involved in a major crash in the final practice session, and all three cars were too damaged to race. Firestone suffered a broken neck, and withdrew. Snider and Villeneuve drove back-up cars on race day, starting from the rear of the field. Dick Simon, took the 33rd starting position, vacated by Firestone, as the first alternate.

1987 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on December 12, 2007, at 09:52.

Recap

After dominating the month (winning the pole position, pit stop contest, and leading the speed chart on nearly every practice day), Mario Andretti leads 170 laps until his Lola-Chevrolet loses blower-pressure with 23 laps to go. Earlier in the race, Tony Bettenhausen lost a wheel after a pit stop. Roberto Guerrero hit the wheel, and tragically it struck and killed a spectator in the grandstands. The ensuing damage to Guerrero's nosecone was a broken clutch master cylinder. After Andretti slowed, Guerrero took over the lead (a full lap lead over Al Unser), but had one final fuel stop remaining. Disaster struck on his final pit stop when he could not get the car out of gear, due to the damage. He stalled trying to pull away, and second place Unser blew past to take a lap lead of his own. Within a few laps, Guererro was able to unlap himself after a caution, but Unser holds on to become the second four-time winner, and oldest winner (47) in race history. Why Unser's win was amazing: His car was a year-old backup car being used as a show car at the Sheraton hotel in Pennsylvania. In addition, he used a Cosworth engine since Roger Penske had run out of Chevrolet engines.

Results

Emerson Fittipaldi started the race from the 33rd position in a back-up car due to a crash in the final practice session.

1988 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on December 12, 2007, at 09:52.

Recap

Roger Penske's team dominates the month, qualifying all three teammates Rick Mears, Danny Sullivan and Al Unser on the front row. Their cars have unique solid wheels instead of the conventional spoke designs used on most of the other cars. On race day the three teammates combine to lead 192 laps. Sullivan dominates the first half, but then hits the south short-chute wall on lap 102, after his front wing adjusters slip, robbing the car of steering capability. Mears, at one point more than a lap down, takes the lead nine laps later, and outlasts Unser and Emerson Fittipaldi to take the checkered flag, his third career Indy victory.

Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on January 22, 2008, at 16:04.

Race events

The front row for the race was Rick Mears, Al Unser, Sr. and Emerson Fittipaldi. Mears, in a Pennzoil-sponsored Penske-Chevrolet, qualified for the pole with a speed of 223.885 mph. Unser, Jr. was the driver of the Valvoline-sponsored Galles Racing entry while Fittipaldi was the driver of the Marlboro-sponsored car owned by Patrick Racing.

In the first laps, Kevin Cogan had a large crash with the inside frontstretch wall, rebounding into the attenuating barrier at the pit entrance, practically disintegrating his car and slicing it in half as it came to a stop in the pit area. Amazingly, Cogan climbed out unhurt.

After a less than memorable first half, Emerson Fittipaldi dominated until the three-quarter mark. Michael Andretti came to the lead, but lost an engine while leading. Fittipaldi regained the lead, with Al Unser, Jr. second. The remainder of the field ran at least six laps behind. A late-race caution came out, and Fittipaldi pitted for fuel. Gambling on track position, Unser, Jr. stayed out and decided not to pit for fuel. Team owner Rick Galles decided not to pit, as their fuel calculations were close, and even if Unser, Jr. ran out of fuel on the final lap, they would still finish no worse than second since third place Raul Boesel was six laps behind.

On lap 196 Al Unser, Jr. took the lead from Emerson Fittipaldi. With two laps to go, Unser, Jr. approached slower traffic. Fittipaldi closed in, and on the backstrech, pulled inside Unser, Jr. Running side-by-side in turn three, the Brazilian’s Penske drifted slightly high and the cars touched wheels. Unser spun around into the turn 3 wall. The pace car escorted "Emmo" to his first Indy win, with "Little Al" giving a congratulatory thumbs-up to Fittipaldi. In the a post-race interview Unser, Jr. was asked whether the accident could have been avoided, he believed not as both he and Fittipaldi "Both wanted to win it badly."

Results

Failed to Qualify: Phil Krueger (#77), Michael Greenfield (#63), Steve Saleen (#59), John Paul, Jr. (#97), Johnny Rutherford (#98/#14T)

Quotes

"They're side-by-side, Emmo on the inside, Al covered traffic goes high, they touched wheels, Al Jr. hit into the wall hard, Emerson Fittipaldi keeps on going, they touched wheels, Al Jr. into the wall and Emerson Fittipaldi will lead them back to the yellow flag" - Mark Jaynes described the crash involving Al Unser Jr. and Emerson Fittipaldi on Lap 198 for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network.

"Fittipaldi comes inside Little Al! A drag race on the back side again... Slower traffic moves to the right... Can Fittipaldi get past? Little Al brings it down low... They touch! Little Al into the wall, Fittipaldi continues on! Little Al slams the wall, as Emerson Fittipaldi screams toward the white flag - the yellow flag comes out!" - Paul Page on ABC television.

Trivia

The field for this race is loosely replicated in the video game format in the 1989 release Indianapolis 500: The Simulation.

The 1989 race was the best Indy 500 result for drivers Davy Jones (7th place) and Rich Vogler (8th place), both of whom started in the last row of 33 cars. It also was the best finish for Raul Boesel (3rd place) among his many Indy 500 starts.

1990 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on December 12, 2007, at 09:53.

Race events

Emerson Fittipaldi runs a blistering pace and sets a record by leading the first 92 consecutive laps. Blistering tires, however, send him to the pits about 30 laps later. Bobby Rahal takes over, looking for his second career Indy victory. During a late pit stop, Rahal's crew puts a set of tires on his car from an earlier segment of the race. The decision proves poor as the car began to suffer ill handling and slows. Arie Luyendyk quickly catches Rahal and takes over the lead, winning the fastest-ever 500, at a speed of 185.981 mph, a record that still stands as of 2007. The victory was Luyendyk's first ever in championship-level competition.

Results

Failed to Qualify: Rich Vogler (#8), Mike Groff (#50), Salt Walther (#77), Johnny Rutherford (#17T), Jeff Andretti (#98), Buddy Lazier (#91)

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on December 12, 2007, at 09:53.

Race events

Morning rains delayed the start by 55 minutes. Michael Andretti led Rick Mears by 15 seconds when a caution flag flies on lap 182. 'Luck' appears to be going Andretti's way as he is able to make it to the pits for fuel under the yellow, while Mears lined up as the leader. Andretti then completes a daring pass around the outside of Mears into turn 1 on the restart. Exactly one lap later, Mears repeats the move on Andretti, passing him on the outside of turn one to re-take the lead. Another caution does not alter the result as Mears powers away again to his record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 Victory, tying A.J Foyt and Al Unser, Sr. This was also Mears 4th win at the brickyard in 12 years.

Recap

A cold, windy, near-winterish day turns the race into a wreck-filled, marathon-long afternoon; the pre-race pace lap crash by polesitter Roberto Guererro setting the pace for the event. This year also marked Ford's return to Indy racing, with the incredibly powerful Cosworth XB. This engine powered Michael Andretti to a one-lap lead of the entire field; but with just 11 laps remaining, the fuel pump failed and the Lola rolled to a stop. After a tense duel, Al Unser Jr. beats Scott Goodyear to the win by 0.043 seconds, the closest finish ever. Goodyear had started the race in 33rd place, the second second-place-finishing driver to do so, after taking over Mike Groff's car at the behest of sponsors, and Unser had started 12th. The distance between Goodyear and Unser on the starting grid turned out to be more than enough to swing the result. Oddly, had Goodyear just managed to inch past Unser, he might still not have been registered as the winner. Unser's Galmer-Chevrolet had to have its timing transponder placed in the nose rather than the side-pod, the standard location in all the other cars. So Goodyear's Lola could have had its nose in front of Unser's Galmer, but its transponder would have still been behind. This potential discrepancy between the visual and computerized results was quickly resolved by specifying a standard transponder placing. Lyn St. James becomes the second woman to race at Indianapolis, she would also take 'Rookie of the year honors' for the '92 500.

Results

Failed to Qualify: Fabrizio Barbazza (#30), Pancho Carter (#81), Didier Theys (#38), Kenji Momota (#88), Mark Dismore (#66), Johnny Parsons (#30), Johnny Rutherford (#17)

Notes

This was three-time Formula One World Champion Nelson Piquet's first attempt at the Indy 500, however he suffered a heavy crash in practice that left him with very serious leg injuries. He did however return the next year, qualifying 13th and finishing 32nd with engine problems.

As of 2007, this is the closest finish in Indy 500 history. Unser Jr. beat Scott Goodyear by 0.043 seconds.

Trivia

Among the facility improvements that year were Energy absorbing attenuator at pit entrance and a new maintenance facility outside turn 4.

Lyn St. James became the second female driver to compete in the Indianapolis 500, and the first female to win the Rookie of the Year Award.

The air temperatures at the race that year were extremely low, in the 40's and 50's (Fahrenheit). This caused a multitude of wrecks due to low grip.

Pole sitter Roberto Guerrero (#36 Quaker State Lola/Buick) crashed out of the race before it even started during the pace laps. The car jumped loose coming out of Turn 2 and pitched him into the inside wall. He was credited with a DNS (Did Not Start) as a result.

In addition, the #44 of Philippe Gache spun out before the start (but didn't hit anything).

Scott Goodyear actually was bumped from the field during qualifying. His team, Derrick Walker Racing, put two cars into the field, one for Goodyear and one for Mike Groff. At the close of qualifying, Goodyear (the team's primary driver), was bumped. Before the race, Walker replaced Groff with Goodyear as the driver for the lone car in the field. Due to the rules, the car had to start from the 33rd (last) position.

Due to many accidents during the race, the average speed for the winner was the lowest since 1958.

Quotes

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network

" Al Unser, Jr. has the lead, one more turn to go...here they come, coming to the finish line, Bob Jenkins, who's gonna win it?!"
- Bob Lamey, calling the fourth turn of the final lap of the race.

"The checkered flag is out...Goodyear makes a move!...Little Al wins by just a few tenths of a second!...perhaps the closest finish in the history of the Indianapolis 500!"
- Bob Jenkins, calling the final straightaway of the race.

ABC Sports

"They make the turn for home now! On the mainstretch, Scott Goodyear closes in...he looks for a place to come by! Scott Goodyear tries him...but no!" "I believe that's the closest finish in Indy history, closer than the race ten years ago when Gordon Johncock beat Rick Mears!" "Ten years ago, when Little Al was new to this track...And now, Al Unser, Jr. is a winner at the Indianapolis 500..."
- Paul Page and Sam Posey, calling the final straightaway of the race, and immediately after.

Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on March 30, 2008, at 18:41.

NOTE: Effective with the 1993 Indianapolis 500, a driver is no longer "Flagged" if he is a lapped car, and crosses the checkered flag.

Recap

1993 saw big changes at Indy, the 'apron' at the bottom of the track was gone, instead a warm up lane was installed, along with a grass verge around the track, as well as rumble strips to narrow the race track and encourage slower speeds into the corners. Dutchman Arie Luyendyk, sat on the pole in his Target Lola, Mario Andretti in the center of the front row, & Raul Boesel driving for Dick Simon is on the outside of the front row. This is the first Indy 500 that 4 time winners A.J Foyt and Rick Mears do not participate in due to their respective retirements. Mears Instead acting as a tutor for Penske driver Paul Tracy. Defending PPG Cup champion and 1986 Indy 500 Winner Bobby Rahal in his ex Truesports chassis fails to qualify, resulting in Rahal buying 1993 Lolas to use for the remainder of the year. Reigning Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell, leading his first-ever oval-track race & 500 Mile race, is too hesitant on a lap 185 restart and both Emerson Fittipaldi and Arie Luyendyk move past to take, and keep, the top two positions. Mansell taps the wall on lap 190 but manages to make the finish in third, aided when his shunt triggers another caution.

Results

All cars in the 1993 Indianapolis 500 competed on Goodyear tires.

Failed to Qualify: Scott Pruett (#45), Bobby Rahal (#1), Eric Bachelart (#32), Mark Smith (#25), Olivier Grouillard (#29), Rocky Moran (#43), Buddy Lazier (#20), John Paul Jr. (#93)

1994 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on March 29, 2008, at 00:32.

Recap

After leading 145 laps in the 1000 hp (750 kW), 250 mph (400 km/h), pushrod engined Penske-Mercedes, defending winner Emerson Fittipaldi attempts to put second placed teammate Al Unser, Jr. a lap down on lap 185 but caught the turbulence off of Al Unser Jr.'s car in turn 4 and smacks the wall. Unser leads the last 15 laps for his second career win.

Results

All cars in the 1994 Indianapolis 500 competed on Goodyear tires.

Failed to Qualify: Jeff Andretti (#94), Ross Bentley (#39), Gary Bettenhausen (#61), Geoff Brabham (#59), Pancho Carter (#30), Jim Crawford (#74), Fredrik Ekblom (#35), Michael Greenfield (#42), Stephan Gregoire (#30), Davy Jones (#40), Buddy Lazier (#23, #94), Roberto Moreno (#44), Tero Palmroth (#44, #79), Johnny Parsons (#42), Willy T. Ribbs (#9, #24), Mark Smith (#15),

Trivia

This was the last Indianapolis 500 for Mario Andretti, who retired after the 1994 season. On May 17, 1994 Al Unser Sr. withdrew from his Arizona Motorsports team during practice after the ride proved uncompetetive, and announced his retirement. Johnny Rutherford, who had not qualified for the Indy 500 since 1988, failed to qualify yet again, and officially retired shortly thereafter.

Emerson Fittipaldi garnered a large lead over the rest of the field -- he led 145 of the 200 laps in the race -- but he crashed into the wall in the closing laps while leading and ended up not finishing. (See below).

Mercedes-Benz used the Indianapolis 500 to debut their Mercedes 209 engine (the 209 stands for the size of the engine in cubic inches). The Penske cars were dominant for the entire month.

Al Unser Jr.'s margin of victory was 8.6 seconds.

Quotes

"[We've] Got [it]...Emerson Fittipaldi has hit the wall on the inside coming through four..."
- Bob Lamey

"Unbelievable, the car comes to a stop just a few feet short of the start-finish line; Emmo raising his hands as if to say, 'I can't believe what has happened'"
- Bob Jenkins, as both described the incredible scene of Emerson Fittipaldi's crash on lap 184, while leading by almost a full lap, on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network

"The Checkered flag waves, and Al Unser Jr. has won the 78th running of the Indianapolis 500"
- Bob Jenkins describing the finish on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network

Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on March 20, 2008, at 19:09.

Recap

For 1995, the rules loophole that allowed the pushrod Mercedes is closed. Neither Unser nor Fittipaldi qualify when their new Penske suffers from abnormal aerodynamic instability and refuses to traverse the Speedway flat-out. Early on in the race Jacques Villeneuve, unaware that he is the leader due to a series of pit stops, passes the pace car during a caution. Officials rule a two-lap penalty for the infraction and Villeneuve drops from contention. However, thanks to fortuitous timing of yellows and pit strategy, Villeneuve comes back from two laps down to be in fourth position as the race nears crunch time. He is promoted to second when first Jimmy Vasser, and then Scott Pruett crash out while trying to pass Scott Goodyear for the lead. On lap 190 Goodyear mis-times the last restart and passes the pace car before it enters pit-road. Goodyear wins on the road but is not scored after lap 195 because he fails to serve the black flag penalty in the pits. Villeneuve is the winner of his own "Indy 505".

Results

Failed to Qualify: Jim Crawford (#96), Emerson Fittipaldi (#2, #9), Franck Fréon (#92), Marco Greco (#55), Michael Greenfield (#42), Mike Groff (#4), Dean Hall (#90, #99), Davey Hamilton (#95), Tero Palmroth (#90), Johnny Parsons (#64), Al Unser, Jr. (#1, #11, #21), Jeff Ward (#44)

Notes

Jacques Villeneuve incurred a two-lap penalty for passing the pacecar while in the lead. At the time, he did not realize he was in the lead, so passed the pacecar as a matter of course to allow the pacecar to catch the leader. Thanks to fortuitous timing of yellows and pit strategy, Villeneuve was able to recover both lost laps, and eventually win the race.

Villeneuve was issued the 2-lap penalty on lap 50 but was back on the lead lap on lap 116 in spite of a green-flag pit stop on lap 79. He was running 3rd when penalized. Michael Andretti kissed the wall on lap 77 and Scott Goodyear stalled his car in the pits during an unscheduled stop on lap 80, giving Villeneuve one of his laps back. From there Villeneuve was able to carve his way through the field by stretching his fuel mileage on full tanks, then turning in the fastest race laps of the middle portions of the race as he was nearing his pit window. His one stroke of good luck was the caution flag that came out on lap 120, just as Villeneuve was about to pit under green again.

On lap 190 Scott Goodyear (who was leading the field) mistimed the last restart and passed the pace car before it entered pit-road. He was given a black flag penalty, but he did not agree with it and so did not enter the pits to serve the penalty. Officials stopped scoring him after lap 195, which handed the race lead to fellow Canadian Jacques Villeneuve.

Goodyear passed the pace car as it exited the Northwest (Fourth) Turn and the lights were still yellow. Goodyear stayed out on the track in spite of the black flag because his team mistakenly believed that Villeneuve's two-lap penalty had been revoked and there was a chance that USAC would do the same for Goodyear's infractions.

On the first lap, Stan Fox had a large crash that also involved Lyn St. James, Eric Bachelart, Gil de Ferran, Carlos Guerrero, and Eddie Cheever, Jr.

Both Emerson Fittipaldi and Al Unser, Jr., driving for Marlboro Penske, failed to qualify for the race despite being top competitors. Unser, Jr. was the defending champion, having won the 1994 Indy 500.

This was Bobby Rahal's last Indianapolis 500. He finished 3rd after starting 21st.

1996 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on March 28, 2008, at 00:26.

Results of the 1996 Indianapolis 500 held at Indianapolis on Sunday, May 26, 1996. This was the first Indianapolis 500 run under the Indy Racing League, but still under USAC sanction. The majority of teams and drivers present in 1995 chose to boycott the race following the creation of Tony George's Indy Racing League. Instead, the boycotting teams staged a competing race, the U.S. 500 at Michigan International Speedway on the same day as the Indy 500, touting the "Stars and Cars" fans would be more familiar with.

Recap

In the first Indianapolis 500 held under IRL sanctions (though technically remaining under the sanction of USAC), Davy Jones grabs the lead from teammate Alessandro Zampedri on lap 190. Buddy Lazier moves in turn past Jones on the main straight on lap 193, and wins as a multiple shunt in the last turn wipes out Zampedri, leaving him with severe leg and foot injuries. Scott Brayton was the original pole winner for this race, but was killed in a practice accident the next Friday after, leaving teammate Tony Stewart, who had qualified second, to line up as the new pole-sitter race day morning. Mary Fendrich Hulman delivers the command to start engines for the final time.

Results

Failed to Qualify: Justin Bell (#15), Billy Boat (#84, #87, #99), Butch Brickell (#77), Tyce Carlson (#36, #77), Dan Drinan (#36), Dave Kudrave (#15), Andy Michner (#36), Randy Tolsma (#24, #45), Rob Wilson (#46)

Notes

Scott Brayton had qualified on pole, but was killed on a practice lap on May 17, 1996. Danny Ongais took over Brayton's car; in accordance with USAC rules Ongais had to start at the rear of the field.

1997 Race Summary

The following is text from Wikipedia as last modified on April 1, 2008, at 01:02.

Results of the 1997 Indianapolis 500 held at Indianapolis, scheduled for Sunday, May 25, delayed for rain until Monday, May 26. Laps 1-15 were completed Monday, but rain postponed the race again. The race was resumed and completed (laps 16-200) on Tuesday, May 27, 1997.

It was the first Indianapolis 500 under a new normally aspirated engine formula (4000 cc, production-based engine).

Recap

The race is scheduled for Sunday, May 25, but rain delays it until Monday. On Monday, the race begins, but rain halts it after 15 laps. Instead of rescheduling it for the weekend, track officials decide, due to an upcoming IRL race on that date at Texas Motor Speedway, to finish the race Tuesday. Many fans are not able to return. Late in the race, Scott Goodyear runs second to teammate Arie Luyendyk. The race restarts for a one-lap dash to the finish but the caution lights on the mainstretch stay yellow. Luyendyk accelerates as instructed but Goodyear sees the yellow and hesitates, ending his chance to challenge after the act allows Luyendyk to pull away slightly on the last lap to win his second race. The race is the first to be run under a new engine formula requiring normally-aspirated engines. Confusion regarding qualifying procedures results in 35 cars on the grid, the most since 1979. Five of them drop out before the initial green flag: three in an accident, and two others because of mechanical ills. Mari Hulman George delivers the command to start engines for just the second time.

Results

Failed to Qualify: Scott Harrington (#36)

Notes

This was the first year of controversy for the IRL's 25/8 rule, where the top 25 drivers in IRL points would be guaranteed spots for the Indianapolis 500. After 2 drivers who were "bumped" by IRL regulars filed a complaint with the USAC (who was still sanctioning the race), the two drivers bumped from the field were allowed to start, making 35 drivers in the field.

The green flag was flown with the white flag on the last lap after a late caution. Presuming that the race would end under caution, both Goodyear and Luyendyk were caught off guard and were slow to respond to the restart according to television interviews. Yellow lights in turn one remained on as the field came to the area of the track while the track was in a green condition.

This was the final Indianapolis 500 sanctioned by the United States Auto Club.

Quotes

"And the green flag is being waive, the white and green flag are showing the race is on, the race is on Jerry Baker"

"What a sucker this is" - Bob Jenkins and Jerry Baker calling the confusion of the final lap of the race for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network.

"Arie Luyendyk wins the 1997 Indianapolis 500, the 81st running of the edition by 7 tenths of a second" - Bob Jenkins described the finish of the race for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network.
