INDY LEGENDS ON DIRT
By: Bob Mays
The Brickyard may be paved, but at one time the only way to get there was on a dirt road. Four-time winner A.J. Foyt is a great example. He started in midgets, progressed to sprinters and won his first Indy as a confirmed dirt tracker. Here, he is saving the left front at Williams Grove in 1961. (Walt Imlay photo)
The Unser Brothers were both brought up on dirt. Bobby (92) has a small advantage over Al (56) at Pueblo, Colorado during a combo sprint/supermodified show in 1962. The two of them account for seven Indy wins. (Leroy Byers photo)
