The 1987 Indy 500

 The 1987 Indy 500


Al Unser, Sr. was a very successful Indy Car driver who had won the famed race twice in succession in the early 1970s.  Well, in 1987 he crashed his well positioned qualified initial entry and was forced to take a lesser advantageous grid position with his backup car, as per the rules.   Ostensibly, Al had little chance of winning.  But with patience and proper use of caution flags and a little screening help from his son, a co-participant in the race, Al Sr. won the race.


Al Unser, Sr.'s journey that year is a lot like many of our lives.  Unfortunate things happen.  But if we are patient to bear our misfortunes and persevere, we can win th victory.


Have a good evening,
