1. Opperman beating Pancho at THAT with Bubby 3rd in the Hulman in 1976 ( I think). The background was that many (USAC) fans were bad mouthing the "outlaws", maintaining that they weren't even in the same ball park with the USAC elite. Back then, you were basically either USAC or not, without the great crossing over we have today. Of course, USAC led to the Speedway in those days, too.
2. JJ's last lap pass to win the Silver Crown race at IRP in 2003. I was there and I have watched the DVD and still can't believe it. He went from not even being in the picture to winning. This set him up for the Hoosier 100 victory 2 days later and the extra cash which went with the sweep.
