Bobby Unser, 3-time Indy 500 winner, dies aged 87

THREE-TIMES Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Unser (pictured) died on Sunday aged 87 at his home in New Mexico, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway said. No cause of death was given. Unser was one of six members of the famed motor racing family to race in the Indy 500. While Bobby won the Indy 500 in 1968, 1975 and 1981, his brother Al went one better winning the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” four-times.

They remain the only brothers to win the race.

“There simply was no one quite like Bobby Unser,” said Roger Penske, chairman, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Team Penske.
