James Hinchcliffe's failure to qualify for the 2018 Indy 500 has been the biggest story to come from the month of May, but he isn't the first high-profile driver to miss the show.
Three-time CART IndyCar Series title winner Bobby Rahal, who entered the 1993 Indy 500 as the defending series champion, saw his world collapse as his Rahal-Hogan Racing entry was too slow to earn a spot in the field of 33 starters.
On the 25th anniversary of Rahal's nightmare scenario, he recounts his worst day at Indy and how the aftermath that followed was, to his surprise, anything but expected.

The beloved Bobby Unser, three-time Indy 500 winner, shares tales of being part of the first crop of drivers to use turbocharged Offenhauser engines at the 1966 Indy 500, the rapid evolution of turbos by 1968 that led him to Victory Lane, and a few more stories of qualifying at Indy with 1100hp while driving for Dan Gurney and fiery stories of racing for Roger Penske.
Uncle Bobby, in all of his yarn-spinning splendor, talks Indy 500 technology while spilling dirt...who could ask for more?

The Marshall Pruett Podcast looks back at the bizarre 1997 Indy 500 where the fledgling Indy Racing League reserved 25 grid spots for the field of 33 cars for IRL regulars, forced the rest to vie for the remaining eight positions, and then allowed two extra cars to join the race after being bumped from the field. We speak with the Lyn St. James and Johnny Unser--the 34th and 35th drivers--about the chaos at Indy on its 20th anniversary.

He's also responsible for a number of fantastic sports car and junior open-wheel designs, which is why I went to interview him about his incomparable career and creations in 2011.
