Bobby Unser, a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner and part of the only pair of brothers to win "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" has died, his wife, Lisa, confirmed to CBS News. He was 87.
The Associated Press reported he died Sunday at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, of natural causes, citing the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Unser won the Indy 500 in 1968, 1975 and 1981.
