Hard to believe it has been 34 years since your smiling face
shined brightly across the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
You are still missed everyday by so many.

Did you know?

    The speed of the entire 2002 Indy 500 field was faster than the 2001 pole winning speed.

    The last time this happened was in Swede Savage's Rookie Year of 1972 when even the slowest qualifier was faster than Peter Revson's pole winning speed of 1971.
