REUTERS: When Al Unser took a show car off the floor of a hotel lobby and drove it to victory at the 1987 Indianapolis 500 he not only joined the Brickyard's most exclusive club of four-time winners but cemented his place as one of motor racing's all-time greats.
Unser had been dropped by Roger Penske in favour of Danny Ongais but when the Flying Hawaiian crashed during practice, destroying his car and suffering injuries that knocked him out of the race, 'Big Al' stepped in. Then Lady Luck revealed her hand, as leader Roberto Guerrero stalled in the pits during his final stop with Unser shooting into the lead and into the Brickyard's history books."You don't win this thing four times because you don't know what's going on."
