  • I met Rick Mears when I was 5 in Bakersfield at a gas station and got his autograph. He was great.

  • Great piece. They really knew how to cover the race back in the old days on TV.The only good thing about Indy racing on tv now is Jack Arute, Scotty G ain't bad either. Here you see Posey in his prime, and Mears is a treasure.

  • yeah i agree, and now the drivers don't even have to conserve their equipment like ppl like Mears had to. I believe that is a true skill that is lacking in today's drivers. Drivers need to know how to drive fast, but also smart and have a car that is still running and is still performing in the closing stages of a 500 mile race. With the high reliability of the honda, dallara, drivers have no clue what it means to race smart and conservatively.

  • The Andretti situation was becuase of Formula One.

  • I think your talking about Danny Sullivan, who in the 1985 Indy was trailing Mario Andretti...took the lead, but then spun completely around causing him to lose the lead right after he took it. He then retook the lead from Andretti and went on to win the '85 Indy 500.

  • I heard this guy had an incredible moment where he spinned at Indy at a very high speed but went on driving, is it true?

  • I love Rick Mears too but I personally never seen him race real time on the TV or in real life. I started watching in '93 and just missed out. I wish I was born 20 years earlier so I could have seen the hay days of Mario, Rahal Sr, Al Unser, and Mears. I got to enjoy guys like Mansell, Tracy, and Bourdais but still doesn't have the same affect in many aspects.

  • One of the classiest people you will ever meet. Too bad he retired when he did, the success Penske had at Indy in '93 and '94, no doubt he would have been a 5 time winner!

  • Rick Mears is the Best! ! ! Only one can overcome Mears ... Mears himself! ! ! Excelente Video ! ! ! Thanks ! ! !

  • a legend
