Timeline
He crashed early and placed 33rd.
Robert William Unser (February 20, 1934 – May 2, 2021) was an American automobile racer.
Unser began racing in 1949 in a Modified at Roswell Speedway.
In 1950, at the age of 15, he won his first championship in Southwest Modified Stock Cars.
From 1953 to 1955, he served in the United States Air Force and became a top competition sharpshooter in military matches.
In 1955, Bobby and brothers Jerry and Al Unser decided to pursue racing careers in USAC.
He debuted in 1955 at Pike's Peak, dubbed "Unser's Peak" because of his family's history of success at the hill climb.
He finished fifth that year, behind his two brothers.
A year later, he won his first championship at Pikes Peak.
He won six straight titles from 1958 to 1963.
In 1959, his brother Jerry Unser died in a practice crash for the 1959 Indianapolis 500.
Unser made his IndyCar debut in 1962 (excluding the Pikes Peak races which were part of the IndyCar season in the 1950s).
He raced for Andy Granatelli between 1963 and 1965 with a Novi engine.
Unser raced in his first Indianapolis 500 in 1963.
His streak ended in 1964 when his younger brother Al won the race.
He leads the all-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion's list with 10 overall wins, having set a new track record eight times.
Unser's record time was broken by Michele Mouton, so Audi approached Unser asking if he would want to attempt to take the record back.
Unser's second Indianapolis 500 in 1964 ended on the second lap in the crash that killed Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald.
Unser moved to an IndyCar owned by Bob Willke from 1966 until 1970.
His first IndyCar win came in 1967 at Mosport, in Ontario.
A year later, Unser won his first Indianapolis 500, setting the record as the first driver to race over 170 miles per hour at Indianapolis.
Unser won the 1968 and 1974 United States Automobile Club (USAC) national championships.
He won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb overall title 10 times (13 times when class wins are included).
He was the nephew of Louis Unser, brother of Al, Jerry Unser and Louie Unser, the father of Robby Unser and the uncle of Al Unser Jr. and Johnny Unser.
The Unser family has won the Indianapolis 500 a record nine times, with Bobby and Al Unser Sr. being the only set of brothers to win in the race's history.
Bobby Unser was one of ten drivers to have won the 500 three or more times and the first of two (followed by Rick Mears) to have won in three decades (1968, 1975, 1981).
Unser was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the son of Mary Catherine (Craven) and Jerome Henry Unser, the third oldest of four brothers.
When he turned one, his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where his father started a garage on U.S. Route 66.
In 1968, Unser worked with crew chief Jud Phillips and won his first USAC National Driving Championship with wins at Stardust International Raceway, Phoenix Raceway, Trenton Speedway, Indy, and the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.
In 1972, Unser started working for Dan Gurney's All American Racers team and a John Miller Offenhauser engine.
He set another Indianapolis 500 record for the fastest qualifying time at 195.940 mph. Teams were allowed to bolt on a wing for the first time and speeds rose significantly (the previous record speed was 178.696 mph).
Unser won nine pole positions (in ten races) and won four of the races.
In 1986, after a 12-year absence from the Pikes Peak race, he won the event for the tenth time driving an Audi Quattro.
He eclipsed Mouton's time by 16 seconds.
The win also broke the tie he had with his Uncle Louis Unser for nine overall victories each.
The 1986 win brought Unser's total number of Pikes Peak victories to 13, including two stock car class victories (1969 and 1974) and a single sports car class win (1963).
Unser came from a family of racecar drivers.
He won numerous racing championships throughout his career, including three Indianapolis 500 titles.
At his induction into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1994, he had the fourth most IndyCar Series wins at 35 (behind his brother Al, A. J. Foyt, and Mario Andretti).
When asked in 2008 about his potential to move from midget and sprint cars, Unser said, "I never considered Indianapolis because I didn't think I was good enough. But Rufus (Parnelli Jones) told me I was going and he got me a ride and I always be indebted to him."
