Top 10 Indy 500s of all time: No. 7 - Rick Mears gets 4th Indianapolis 500 win | Motorsports on NBC
/ motorsportsonnbc - Спорт
The second most famous words in racing are "And Andretti slows on the backstretch ". Mears is probably the best natural racecar drivers I have ever seen.
Gotta love the legendary Tom Carnegie, forever the voice of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Man, I miss Rick Mears and those 1991 cars!
I was there had seats inside of turn one some of the most phenomenal passes in racing I've ever seen
I miss this type of racing and these cars
What a pass. This was a fantastic race. Who could have imagined that Rick would win 4 Indy's in 15 starts and then had to retire in January 1993 due to the foot injuries incurred back in the fall of 1984
If you compare the lead changes, you see that Michael had to chop down in front of Rick in the short chute, while Rick, on the subsequent lap made the pass without chopping down in front of Michael. This tells me that Rick had the better handling car at that moment.
A couple months ago the IMS museum had Rick Mears as a guest speaker, and he discussed this in detail. It was fascinating to hear the details of the decisions he made in split seconds. These few laps alone make this one of my favorite 500's of all time.
@@johnjones5354 excellent points thank you for sharing them.
@@anthony0358 You're welcome.
I was 13 years old and the 89’and 91 races made me the super fan of Indycar still to this day. My 26th 500 2023. I miss Michael and Rick and the Unser battling at Indy!!!
I can say I was there when Big Al and Mears won their fourth Indy 500
LMAO at Rick admitting to cheesing the restart. Gotta do whatever it takes, love it.
I really miss the apron they had back then. It made for great racing.
Death, taxes, and Rick Mears sandbagging till the end.
He wasn't sandbagging he was saving his car so he could have it at the end. At every pit stop he would tweak his car it for the 10 to 20 laps.
and the Andretti curse shows up.
@@thalleshoward3962 That's what sandbagging means. Rick had the speed all along as you saw on the first few laps. They intentionally gave a taste of what the car could do, then slacked off. You just heard Michael say that he was WIDE OPEN on the last few laps and Rick just kept pulling away. That shows that he had a superior machine.
You also saw both he and Emo were right on his tale towards the end. If Emo had not of have had a bad clutch, he probably would have won. The 1991 PC-20 was a fine machine.
@@D2Kprime Rick Mears was the master of saving his car until the last twenty laps. He would make adjustments all day and leave to the end of the race. Absolutely my favorite.
My Favorite Race, Around My Favorite Time Of The Year. Love The Indy 500😊.
My dad was best friends with Rick, he was such an awesome guy. I remember being little and them hanging out all the time. Back when Bakersfield was safe to live in. Lol
Awesome memories!!!
Mears has 4 Indy wins, the Unser’s have 9. The Andretti’s have 1. When you consider the cheap move by Mario to try to help Michael win, it starts making sense that they only have the 1 win.
Those were great years of racing. Car diversity. Immense speed and bravery. Todays cars are vanilla. Same for F1.
Next time you make video turn the music louder, I still can hear people mumbling in background 🫤
Michael had another
year where he was running away and his motor just fuckin died. 92 or 94 maybe?
'92
What Mario did was disgusting in my opinion
Best at turning left, such a farce.
F1. Best car wins. Boring.
@@codyfrance2537 I prefer F2 and the lower tiers because the equipment is identical and results depend on driver skill.
It’s the Indianapolis 500 you moron! They’ve been doing this “turning left” since 1911 and it’s one the races needed to win the Triple Crown. Hating what you don’t understand. Typical.
Giving championships to others without argument is such a farce too. Ahhhhh "The Pinnacle"
As an F1 fan, there's a reason most of the drivers don't want to do Indy. I'd love to see you try and do this.
