The most accurate part of that portrait is the grouchy old yellow shirt reprobates depicting usac in the background....:shakehead

Oh yeah, what year did Mikey win?

Neither did Ted Horn or Rex Mays, for that matter. IIRC, Mikey holds the record for the most laps led for a non-winner. He belongs, despite being a douchebag.

Where's Cheeber? No Rahole? Whattabout Rice, Sham, PT, etc.... :gomer: Note that only Gaylio is considered one of the greatest for racing exclusively post-split. Mikey, Al Jr., and Arie are the only ones to race both pre- and post-split. However, one would question whether Al Jr. actually raced post-split @ Indy.

BTW, I just did a search for Indy repeats on E$PN Classic, and they only have a couple of old 500s scheduled this week. Used to be that they'd have a dozen or so repeats back-to-back-to-back-to....well, you get the picture. :shakehead Anyway, '82 and '92 are on tap Sat for pre-split goodness.

But they got the chubby cheeks right! ;)

Notice how the cars in the background aren't the modern IRL beasts. And where's AJ's sammich?

Dude, I'm talking about @ Indy, not RA. Al Jr. was racing with Pimpske until he got dumped after the '99 season. In '96 he was racing in the US 500 @ MIS. I was there to see it, yo. He dint race again @ Indy until '00, and finished like 30 or so. He may have had a teens or so finish since, but I'm quite sure that was the result of an act of :tony:.

Don't they show the '82 and '92 races every year? Why not '95 or '89 or '93 or something different for once?
