Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

BOBBY UNSER, along with his younger brother, Al, belongs to one of the most famous racecar families in America. He won the Indianapolis 500 three times–in 1968, 1975, and 1981.

In addition, Unser has served as ABC’s chief analyst for the network’s Indy 500 telecasts and has served as a spokesman for numerous corporations including Audi, IBM, GM, Goodyear Tire, and Mobil Oil. He speaks at about forty corporate events annually. Behind the scenes on the racing circuit, he is still involved as an advisor to many in the racing business.
