1997 IRL Phoenix 200

Jim Guthrie pulls off the impossible winning his only career Indycar race. This is race #2 of 1997 but actually race #4 of the 1996-1997 IRL Season. 1998 season champion Kenny Brack makes his first career start here. Sam Schmidt has a scary late race crash that actually breaks the turn 4 wall.

I've been waiting for this for a very long time, thank you so much! Do you have the 97 Las Vegas race?

[de31168]

@robpm473 I do not, sorry.

Yet another race that isn't already on YouTube! Very cool! Would you happen to have the 1998 race?

@dot350 According to my list of races I do, now it's a matter of actually finding the VHS tape.

45:35 ... 4th car in line, Schmidt I think, gets waaaaay sideways there.

A indycar with tony stewarts name on it just seems strange now

@Legomanfan66 Phoenix was actually built in 1964 for the Indy Cars. Nascar didn't start running there till the late 80's.

Awesome to hear. Since pretty much all the CART races from the late '90s are uploaded, it'd be awesome to see more IRL races uploaded. Thanks again for all the great races!
