Bill Vukovich came out of of California's Midget circuit to become one of the greatest drivers to ever compete on the massive Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
He won the race twice in a row in 1953 & 1954 and lost his life trying to become the only man to win it three times in succession in 1955. Beyond that, he won countless Midget races, barnstorming the country.
Bill's son, Billy Vukovich Jr., raced at Indy in the 60's & 70's but was never able to win an Indianapolis 500.

Graham Hill was a Rookie when he won the Indianapolis 500 in 1966. Graham was the second British driver in a row to win the 500. Jim Clark won in 1965. Graham Hill is the only man to have won the F1 Championship the Indy 500 and LeMans.

Mario Andretti is one of the winningest drivers in Indy Car history, unfortunately, the Andretti name has only visited victory lane one time at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Mario Andretti has also won the Formula One World Championship and the Daytona 500. In 1969 Mario Andretti crashed his original STP Lotus and was forced to drive the back up machine which was an STP Hawk. Mario led a total of 116 laps and established 15 of 20 new records set during the 1969 Indy 500. It was also STP's first win in the Indy 500.

David Earl "Swede" Savage was to be the next Great American Racer. Swede started racing as a child in San Bernardino, California in 1/4 midgets. He moved to motorcycle racing and stock cars, until Dan Gurney hired him to race for The All-American Racer Team. Swede raced in Can Am, Trans Am & Indy Cars. His childhood dream was to be able to atleast lead the Indy 500. In 1973 he did lead 12 laps of the 500, but suffered a terrible crash. Swede died of his injuries 33 days later. Here is our Dad's tribute to one of his childhood heroes.

Al Unser Sr. became only the fourth driver in history to win the Indy 500 back-to-back in 1970 and 1971. Al Unser drove the Johnny Lightning Special both of those years. It took Helio Castroneves 31 years to become the next back-to-back winner. Nobody has ever won the Indy 500 three times in a row.

In 1972 Indy car teams were experimenting with the newly allowed wings. The Vel's Parnelli Jones team formed a "Super Team" with drivers Joe Leonard, Mario Andretti & Al Unser Sr. Above is a picture of the 1972 Parnelli Prototype complete with dihedral wings and no rear wing. The original design did not work well and the dihedral wings were removed and a large rear wing added. The Parnelli chassis went on to win the 1972 USAC National Championship with Joe Leonard at the wheel.

Helio Castroneves came to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time in 2001 and won! As a rookie, Helio beat his Penske teammate Gil de Ferran by less than 2 seconds. In 2002 Helio won again and became the first back-to-back winner since Al Unser Sr. did it in 1970 & 1971. Nobody has ever won the Indy 500 three times in a row.
