Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted May 10, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'd like to see someone like JR Hildebrand win...he had one in the bag a few years back and hit the wall on the last turn of the last lap. Also nice to see Graham Rahal drinking the milk. I was watching that and could not believe it....the only saving grace is that Dan Wheldon got the win...he later died in a crash during a race.

Momorider Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Spin and Win https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_Indianapolis_500 The 69th Indianapolis 500 was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana on Sunday, May 26, 1985. The race was sanctioned by USAC, and was included as part of the 1985 CART PPG Indy Car World Series. The Speedway also celebrated 40 years of ownership by the Hulman/George family. In one of the most dramatic moments in Indy 500 history, Danny Sullivan took the lead from Mario Andretti on lap 120. But as he was completing the pass, Sullivan's car stepped out, and he lost control. He spun directly in front of Andretti in turn one, doing a complete 360°. Andretti veered to the left and slipped by unscathed, while Sullivan's car somehow avoided contact with the concrete wall. Sullivan continued in the race, and about twenty laps later, managed to re-pass Andretti for good. Sullivan led the final 61 laps, and scored his lone Indy victory, driving for Penske. Due to the electrifying spin by Sullivan, and the subsequent recovery, the race became known in auto racing lore as the "Spin and Win".[3] It is largely considered one of the most famous moments in all of Indy car racing history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
