Ken de la Bastide The Herald Bulletin
Bobby Unser, one of the all-time great drivers who competed at the Indianapolis 500 and for years with USAC, passed away this week.
Unser honed his skills during the annual Pikes Peak Hill Climbs and went on to win the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” three times.
Unser won the Indy 500 for the first time in 1968 and went on to win the USAC National Championship. His second win came in the rain-shortened Indy 500 of 1975.
His third win in 1981 was surrounded by controversy when he was stripped of the victory for passing cars during a caution period.
