Darlington Throwback
Big Machine Racing is throwing it back 50 years and paying tribute to the great Bobby Unser in Darlington this week.
“Thank you, Scott Borchetta & Big Machine Racing, for honoring the 50th anniversary of my Bobby’s second of three Indy 500 wins,” Bobby Unser’s widow, Lisa Unser, said upon learning of the honor. “This one in the beautiful #48 Jorgensen Eagle in 1975. I’m eternally grateful for this heartfelt tribute to my husband and his love of auto racing. Bobby always said if he could turn back time, he would ‘win more races, drink more whiskey and have more fun!”
Big Machine Racing owner Scott Borchetta added, “So, here’s to going for the win, celebrating with Borchetta Bourbon, and having a blast doing it, all in the name of honoring my good friend and hero, Bobby Unser!”
