Two of the most beloved winners in the history of the Indianapolis 500 will bring their unique storytelling style to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum for a special \u201cSpeakers Series\u201d event May 21, 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn Evening with The Unsers\u201d will give fans the opportunity to hear from three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Unser and his nephew, two-time champion Al Unser Jr., hosted by former \u201cVoice of the 500\u201d Bob Jenkins.<\/p>\n

The event will take place surrounded by a special exhibit honoring their legendary family, \u201cThe Amazing Unsers: From Albuquerque To Indianapolis\u201d which opened at the Museum April 9. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m., and the program will begin promptly at 6:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

In addition to being one of just two drivers to win the Indianapolis 500 in three different decades, Bobby Unser is a two-time national driving champion and member of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame. Unser racked up 35 victories in his championship career and took 13 victories at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Al Unser Jr. is perhaps best known for winning the closest finish in Indianapolis 500 history in 1992. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Famer won two national driving championships and 34 races in his championship career.<\/p>\n

\u201cBobby Unser is one of the greatest storytellers in auto racing history, and \u2018Little Al\u2019 delighted fans last year at our celebration honoring the 25th<\/sup>anniversary of the closest finish in Indianapolis 500 history,\u201d said Betsy Smith, executive director of the nonprofit foundation that runs the facility. \u201cWe are thrilled that these two incredible champions will join us for this special event in May, surrounded by the exhibit that honors their legendary family.\u201d<\/p>\n
