Add to SetSummary
Bobby Unser won the last of his three Indianapolis 500 victories in 1981. It was his hardest-won triumph. Unser crossed the finish line first but, the next day, officials ruled that he passed cars illegally during a caution and penalized him one position. Unser appealed and, after four months of review, he was reinstated as the rightful winner.
