Never been to the race itself but one I won't forget was the race in 92.
It was the first time I got the 500 on tape. They talked about how cold it was that day with temps in the 50's. All the wrecks.:eek: Stan Fox nearly t-boning Phillipe Gasche(sp?) yet both were uninjured. Numerous head on crashes by Mario and Jeff Andretti, Fittipaldi. At one time half the race was run under yellow. Michael Andretti wheeling a new Ford powered Lola for Newman/Haas just dominated all day only to break with 11 to go. Unser Jr. and Scott Goodyear who started dead last, battling the last 10 or so laps then provided the closest finish ever.
I haven't watched the tape in a long time but still remember it very well.
