Carving the Unser Name Into Racing Legend

Background

Al Unser's career proves why no one can discuss Indy Car racing without making reference to the astounding accomplishments of racing's almost mythical Unser family. As a four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, Al Unser's Indy Car career spanned an incredible three decades, demonstrating how there are winners and then there are legends such as he.

Al Unser was a ferocious competitor who was never complacent with last year's accomplishments. Maintaining victory lane as his favorite destination, Al strove for driving perfection throughout his career. In recording an amazing thirty nine career Indy Car victories, Al Unser posted accomplishments which included becoming a three-time Indy Car World Series Champion. His career was capped in 1991 when he was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Al Unser is the epitome of a champion who never really retires.

His relaxed demeanor makes him an ideal person for public relations programs and personal appearances. He projects humor and warmth, and his comfortable, almost "laid back" style makes him specially popular with groups.
