Al
Unser Sr.,born in 1939, and a legend in the world of auto racing is a four time
winner of the Indianapolis 500. He raced in his first Indy 500 in 1965 and is
one of the few drivers to win the race in consecutive years, 1970 and 1971.
He holds the record of being the oldest driver to ever win the 500 at 47 in
1987, breaking the previous record set by his brother Bobby. Unser, a
member of the second of three generations of Unsers to race cars, also shares
the distinction of having won races on paved ovals, road courses, and dirt tracks
in a single season. Retired since 1994 to his native New Mexico, Unser
has built a wonderful automobile museum in Albuquerque well worth visiting.
Before retiring, Unser Sr. compiled an enviable record on the Indy car circuit
of thirty-nine wins and is an honored member of the Motorsports Hall of Fame.
