Bobby Unser Collection--Photographs--Racing--1975 Indy--Item26

Summary

Bobby Unser won the second of his three Indianapolis 500 victories in 1975. Unser led during lap 174 when the skies let loose with a torrential downpour. Visibility plummeted, the track flooded, and cars spun out of control. Officials ended the race immediately, but it was enough to earn Unser a legitimate trip to victory lane.
