5fouls Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 When I first got interested in Indy car racing, I was a fan of Big Al and Bobby Unser. I never liked Little Al, and Bobby became less likeable to me as I got older, but I always liked Big Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked Little Al, and Bobby became less likeable to me as I got older, but I always liked Big Al. The first 500 I went to was when Al won his first race. Went back the next year and the same thing happened. He was one of my favorites for sure. I got a lot of insight into the Unser family dynamic when I recently read the Al Unser, Jr book. Some of it I would probably rather not known. But it reminded me that even legends and heroes are really just human beings like the rest of us. It is a sad day as a generation of drivers pass away one by on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
