From the days when Indy was must-see TV.

RIP Bobby. Great motorsports driver, thanks for the memories.

He always seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

One of the three ‘must-reads’ for any car guy is “Best Damn Garage in Town” by Smokey Yunick. Many American racing legends drove for him. Smokey ranked them in the chapter “50 Good Drivers and an Asshole.”

Bobby Unser rated almost 4 pages:

“There was a time that if a rattlesnake bit him, it would have broke its teeth.”

RIP Bobby.

As a kid I was always a huge AJ fan, but much respect to Bobby , One of the Best during the Golden Age of Motor Racing. Always enjoyed him as a race commentator too

Very Sad News.

I too got to spend some quality time with Mr. Unser.
He was using my Pit Pal table at MCACN.....he thanked me for the use of my table....and he signed the top of my table.
RIP Sir.

Somewhere is the hour long interview with Bobby at MCACN. Maybe somebody can find it.
