@@MDCSWildcats86however I think he should give it up now since he retired but probably anybody else would not be as good as him narrating with the music.
For real I was too young to have seen these altho I was alive I always loved indy car growing up but never seriously watched it on a whim found these full cart seasons and I'm binge watching and totally hooked. I don't know why I didn't get into it more when I was younger. Damn I love indy car!
Pity that no longer use this song in the opening of 500 miles. The opening that ABC did this year, referring to her 50 years of broadcasting in Indianapolis was so good.
Spent a few years living in Stafford Springs,CT, with it's half mile paved oval,you could hear the V-8s screaming around the track about 4 or 5 days a week from my house,no wonder I turned out to be a gearhead.
The definitive 1992 Indy 500 crash guide: 38:12 Roberto Guerrero 52:34 Tom Sneva 1:30:10 Philippe Gache & Stan Fox 1:40:57 Jim Crawfrod, Rick Mears & Emerson Fittipaldi 1:51:22 Mario Andretti 2:05:32 Jimmy Vasser 2:13:33 Brian Bonner 2:26:29 Jeff Andretti & Gary Bettenhausen 2:47:35 Arie Luyendyk 3:00:10 Buddy Lazier "hot seat" 10 years of winnings where smashed into the wall that day.
This was my first 500. We were on the inside of turn 4. Got to see probably the best(except for the continued Andretti curse) 500. What a great year outside the Marcello tragedy.
What a great race this was. It had a little of everything. Big crashes, engine failures, intense racing and the closest finish in Indy 500 history... I really felt bad for Micheal looking back on it. Talk about a day from hell. Not only does two of his family members end up in the hospital, his car lets him down with less than 15 laps to go. I wouldn't have been surprised if he went in a private room and cried for awhile after the race.
ESPN ought to bring back the Delta Force theme, the actual effort in the intros and...yes, announcers who know what they are talking about. Scott Goodyear raced in both CART and the IRL he won races at Michigan in 92/94. Marty Reid is (to my mind) mainly a NASCAR commentator and forever linked with Vegas 2011, Eddie Cheever won a race, but he doesn't seem to have that magic an announcer needs. That magic Bobby Unser had, or Sam Posey had, albeit built up over years and years of working together
What a race. When Guerrero spun out I was looking right at him. I was also looking right at Michael Andretti and saw a small puff of smoke as well as looking right at Jeff Andretti's crash. You guessed it, I was sitting in turn 2 with a view of the entire backstretch. It was so cold that morning. In '92 they still started the race at 11am. We were sharing a pair of gloves with a friend so we could hold on to our cold beer. This is what I loved to do in my youth (20's). Racing and cold beer. I've must have been close to 200 major races ( F 1, IndyCar, NASCAR, Champ Car ). 12 of them the Indy 500, a whole lot of Nascar at Martinsville, Charlotte and Bristol. All great race tracks and I wouldn't change it for anything.
I remember that well. I was a little kid rooting for Al, and I remember wondering who the hell won the race for what felt like an eternity until I saw the Galles crew celebrating on pit road. It was a nice idea to get the flags in the shot, but seriously... when second place is pulling out to make a move on the leader coming to the line, you don't cut away!!
3:25:50 is the golden moment of Sam Posey's career when he gets to tell Bobby Unser "Sorry Bobby, but you're wrong" after all the times Bobby told Sam, "Sorry Sam, you're wrong." Sam must have been waiting years just for this.
"11 laps to go in the Indy 500 and Michael is slowing! Michael is slowing! Al Unser Jr. will take the lead as Michael Andretti slows down at Indianapolis!"
As much as I was and am a big fan of Al Jr., my fave was '91, when Mears came back around Michael on the outside of Turn 1 just like Michael had just done to him. That was amazing. But seeing "Little Al" in Victory Lane this year, 92, was really something.
It's just a shame Michael didn't win this race. I have a lot of respect for Little Al, and it was a great finish, but Michael deserved this. I am always pulling for Marco Andretti because the Andretti family deserves to catch a break here. After this years Indy 500 (2012) I'm convinced Marco can do it
Yes it was. Mears was one of the best ever bar none. Just imagine what more he could have accomplished if not for his injuries. I think the injuries were the deciding factor wasnt it?
At 43:20 the best start in the history of the Indianapolis 500. Never saw a sensational moment was like this. Here in Brazil we would put the Eddie Cheever was "sandwiched" by the Michael and Mario Andretti. The race itself I consider the best of all time for all that happened; accidents in training (only the Jovy Marcelo was unfortunate that his death), Piquet as one of the attractions (but just pounding and giving rise to Al Unser Sr), a round of Guerrero logo on the sighting lap (Alain Prost recalled Imola one years before), and accidents of course. Oh, and do not like to talk about some rookies at the time, Philippe Gache one rally driver for example. The veterans were also present. AJ Foyt, Tom Sneva, Gary Bettenhausen, Al Unser Sr and Gordon Johncock. Of Brazil, Raul Boesel just managed to get to the end, in seventh. A sensational race, pity that we have not had Japanese drivers, as Hiro and Kenji Momota ended up getting hurt and not participating in the race.
What a brutal day at Indy this was with Roberto crashing out before the green, all the wrecks including the one that took out both Penske cars, only time I think Mears crashed in competition at the speedway, & then Michael's car failing him right at the end after an absolutely commanding performance to that point...
Its funny, i remember this indy for so many reasons but the main one is that I was at uni in lancaster and the cricket wc final was the same day pakistan v england. me and some Canadian dude started watching this, he wasn't a motorsports fan but knew indy. About halfway throughthe cricket fans started arriving but we wouldn't change channel, crahs after crash we just felt the eyes bearing down on us but I would not surrender the controller LOL
themikeawesome Yes I agree Tracy was robbed and at least everybody knows he won. But Scott Goodyear is due for a win and I think though he's never won, he is a true winner in my book
Tony George let his ego destroy a growing open wheel series. Now a ticket for Indy can be had on race day at the gate. In the early 90's, next year's was sold out a few days after the current year's race.
Always breaks my heart knowing Michael couldn't pull off a win. Even more so because from 1996 to 2000 nobody from CART would compete. My only hope is that Marco can win it for Michael, Mario and the Andretti family. Destroy the curse and hopefully win a few more times. The Andretti's deserve it, and so does the raceway
According to "That Other Wiki", John Paul Jr raced the entire race with a broken fuel line. Think this could have been what caused his delayed departure?
3:39:30 the most fascinating and chilling thing I've ever heard said about this race. May 24 was the date all three Unsers won the Indy 500 & those three times were the only occasions the race HAD EVER BEEN RUN ON MAY 24. If you never believed in Indy 500 magic you've got to believe it now.
Yeah and also Unser Sr won in 87 after Mario had dominated & coasted to a stop with less than 20 to go. Then 5 years later Unser Jr wins after Michael dominated & coasted to a stop with less than 20 to go...
say what you like about the differences between indyacr and f1, the simple fact is this.... america knows how to put on an event!! Imagine of F1 did monaco with the same amount of effort.... it would be awesome (just for some perspective i am from europe and have been an f1/indycar fan since 1992).
The HANS was actually developed in the early 1980s, but no major organization even approved them until the NHRA did in 1996, and even then, they weren't mandatory.
I didn't say the Rallye Monte Carlo had the reputation of the Indy 500 because it simply hasn't, I just said that it's older than the Indy 500. Our information might depend on the region in Europe and America I admit. The closer you get to Le Mans geographically the more people will have heard about it. Same goes for Indy.
The official results state that Cheever finished 4th on the lead lap (and apparently lost to Al Unser, Sr. in a photo finish that was never shown). All indications from ABC's coverage here are that Cheever finished 6th one lap down. Did Ganassi win an appeal of the penalty after the race? I haven't been able to find anything about it. Focusing on the flagman instead of the start-finish line when Unser, Jr. and Goodyear were about to cross the line was a MAJOR faux pas...
EC was penalized one lap, but was rescinded after the fact. I'm told the difference between him and Big Al for 3rd-4th was closer than Al Jr. SG for the win.
LetsPlayPC World War I and II couldn't take the greatness and majesty away from this race, but Tony George sure did. His Grandfather must be rolling in his grave.
I agree ESPN's Broadcast for Indycar racing is absolutely horribleBoth Eddie Cheever and Scott Goodyear are Very dry and the Pit reporters are also dry except for Dr Jerry Punch. The need to get Jack Arute And Gary Gerald to join DR Jerry Punch in the pits, and find a way to bring back Paul Page add some other retired Indy car driveres with some personality to do the color comentary
I can’t understand why you wouldn’t have Paul Page calling the race. He’s more than a signature voice, his depth and knowledge are unmatched especially at the Indy 500
+UberAntisocialist For the viewers, I would say it is 3:35:24 when the director decided to NOT SHOW THE FUCKING FINISH of the race and instead cut to the fucking checkered flag being waved.
The race really should have been delayed to a warmer day. The cold casued wrecks, yellow flag, tires get cold, restart, another wreck, yellow flag, tires get cold, another wreck.....
Racing was so good at Indy during this era - yes I hate Tony George too. He castrated this race and quite possibly this series. This was at least a decent measure against F1 (at the time). CHEERS on the upload and how do I get the music. YEAH I feel like some power walking.
What kind of crappy camera angle was that at the end of the race? They should have stayed with the one they had. You couldn't even tell when they crossed the finish line who won. At least with Mears vs Johncock they stayed with the same viewing angle as they crossed the finish line.
Historical note: Cheever's first pit stop was not only to change tires but also to change his underwear after getting the living sh-- scared out of him at the start.
Although it is a pretty good race, no, it is not the greatest one in the world. The greatest race in the world is the 24h race of Le Mans followed by the 24h of Nürburgring, of Daytona and THEN there is the Indy 500 + Daytona 500. The F1 Grand Prix of Monaco is the next one on the list.
the longer ive watched this race the more i dont like the way its done. the cars are great! the tracks brilliant, the drivers are all more than capable and theres a good mix, but the coverage and the self assured cockyness of the commentators and the producers just makes it almost un watchable for me, everything is 'brought to you by...' or 'courtesy of' and all i'm hearing is how america does it better than anyone else. the sad news is that they really dont, they have much to learn from europe.
The Delta Force theme should be the mandatory intro to every indy 500 ever.
Not if you are Paul Page. He bought the rights to the music so that only his voice will ever be heard over it.
@@MDCSWildcats86however I think he should give it up now since he retired but probably anybody else would not be as good as him narrating with the music.
Anyway, it wouldn't be the same without Paul Page. Just like it's not the same without Tom Carnegie calling the race at the track.
I have always felt that this era was one of open wheel racings greatest
As a HUGE Michael Andretti fan this pissed me off so much because he had the car to beat.
This was the one that truly got away
R. I. P. Gary Bettenhausen. (1941-2014), you will be missed!!!!!
Paul Page was amazing at calling the Indy 500 and doing the broadcasts. I wish he still did it today..
How badass are these old CART races? Too bad I was so young in this era
Its why I Call this era From 88- 1996 The golden age of indy car racing
For real I was too young to have seen these altho I was alive I always loved indy car growing up but never seriously watched it on a whim found these full cart seasons and I'm binge watching and totally hooked. I don't know why I didn't get into it more when I was younger. Damn I love indy car!
What a intro!!!!!!!!! And look at the great racing Indy had before reconstructing the turns.. why can't racing & coverage be this good today
Tony George
Pity that no longer use this song in the opening of 500 miles. The opening that ABC did this year, referring to her 50 years of broadcasting in Indianapolis was so good.
And it was getting better and better every year until Tony
Agreed!! Making Indy a one-groove track I thought was a mistake.
One of my favorite races ever
I saw this race with my dad. The sound was loud and unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Just raw power.
Spent a few years living in Stafford Springs,CT, with it's half mile paved oval,you could hear the V-8s screaming around the track about 4 or 5 days a week from my house,no wonder I turned out to be a gearhead.

I wouldn't have been surprised if he went in a private room and cried for awhile after the race.
Lapping the field isn't really saving the car though,but you can't blame Michael,the car is supposed to last 200 laps,not 185.
My first Indy 500!
ESPN ought to bring back the Delta Force theme, the actual effort in the intros and...yes, announcers who know what they are talking about. Scott Goodyear raced in both CART and the IRL he won races at Michigan in 92/94.

"11 laps to go in the Indy 500 and Michael is slowing! Michael is slowing! Al Unser Jr. will take the lead as Michael Andretti slows down at Indianapolis!"
I remember watching this live and flipped when Roberto's car went off.
That was a crazy race. Would loved to of seen Senna do the Indy 500.
1992. My favourite Indy 500 of all time apart from many others.
As much as I was and am a big fan of Al Jr., my fave was '91, when Mears came back around Michael on the outside of Turn 1 just like Michael had just done to him. That was amazing.
But seeing "Little Al" in Victory Lane this year, 92, was really something.
I just can't understand why these cars 30 years ago look and sound better than the indy cars today. It will never be the same.
낭만이 사라진 지금, 그시절이 그리워

그 강렬했던 엔진의 소리는 어디로 갔는지..
It's just a shame Michael didn't win this race. I have a lot of respect for Little Al, and it was a great finish, but Michael deserved this. I am always pulling for Marco Andretti because the Andretti family deserves to catch a break here.
After this years Indy 500 (2012) I'm convinced Marco can do it
Maybe because I'm Italian, I'm always rooting for the Andrettis.
Oh man what a race. Thanks for these uploads!!
43:12 Such a cool moment to see Mario and Michael both going straight in front. One of my favorite starts ever for sure.
Yes it was. Mears was one of the best ever bar none. Just imagine what more he could have accomplished if not for his injuries. I think the injuries were the deciding factor wasnt it?
This one I remember and you could not even get through the pace lap and cars were dropping like flies
Sure, it was against IRL competition, but I was glad Cheever finally got a win. Too bad Scotty Brayton never did.
At 43:20 the best start in the history of the Indianapolis 500. Never saw a sensational moment was like this. Here in Brazil we would put the Eddie Cheever was "sandwiched" by the Michael and Mario Andretti.
The race itself I consider the best of all time for all that happened; accidents in training (only the Jovy Marcelo was unfortunate that his death), Piquet as one of the attractions (but just pounding and giving rise to Al Unser Sr), a round of Guerrero logo on the sighting lap (Alain Prost recalled Imola one years before), and accidents of course.

This was the single best Indy 500, not only for the finish, but for everything that occured during the course of the day.

2:35:32 Senna talks about Indy500 and indycar racing
Scott Goodyear is a winner in my opinion for all the times he's come close and his good sportsmanship he has had all his life
Scotty won 2 more and was robbed... just like Tracy in 2002.
Well u know what I mean: even if he don't win he's a winner
themikeawesome
Yes I agree Tracy was robbed and at least everybody knows he won. But Scott Goodyear is due for a win and I think though he's never won, he is a true winner in my book
I think Goodyear started in 22nd in this race,he made an incredible run.
3:26:32 - and Michael slows on the back stretch.....heard way too often....
The only way any Andrettis goes is pedal to the metal, slowing down is not in their nature.
The most common sentence: "Another car... another car into the wall."
awesome race, god I love INDY..
1:25 This should be the motto of Indy 500. Love it
I remember Scott Goodyear's wife looking so pretty....maybe it's the eyes, I dunno.
Tony George let his ego destroy a growing open wheel series. Now a ticket for Indy can be had on race day at the gate. In the early 90's, next year's was sold out a few days after the current year's race.
10 years later and nature is healing
Not a fan of Tony George.
So awful what happened to Michael. He smoked this race. What a shame. Thanks for the vid, this was an epic indy
Always breaks my heart knowing Michael couldn't pull off a win. Even more so because from 1996 to 2000 nobody from CART would compete. My only hope is that Marco can win it for Michael, Mario and the Andretti family. Destroy the curse and hopefully win a few more times.
The Andretti's deserve it, and so does the raceway
Yes that would be sweet Vindication at Indy after so much heartbreak the Andretti family has had losing this race in the finallaps after leading
Michael was like .."bye,Dad"..Zoom!
According to "That Other Wiki", John Paul Jr raced the entire race with a broken fuel line. Think this could have been what caused his delayed departure?
1992 was a bizarre race that was. Typically unpredictable - the way Indy is more than any other race..
1:53:16 Fast forward to 2014: Passenger cars are safer but not made of carbon fiber or aluminum (for the most part).
3:39:30 the most fascinating and chilling thing I've ever heard said about this race. May 24 was the date all three Unsers won the Indy 500 & those three times were the only occasions the race HAD EVER BEEN RUN ON MAY 24. If you never believed in Indy 500 magic you've got to believe it now.

They need those aprons back on the bottom i think it will better racing and better for open wheel racing in America
I think it would actually make the track safer.
say what you like about the differences between indyacr and f1, the simple fact is this.... america knows how to put on an event!! Imagine of F1 did monaco with the same amount of effort.... it would be awesome (just for some perspective i am from europe and have been an f1/indycar fan since 1992).
Poor Roberto Guerrero...man he had no luck. My 3rd indy 500 and we were in the infield just down from where he spun the car warming up.
1:53:36 Man, look at his head bounce around. A HANS would have helped but I think it was still on the drawing board at this point.
The HANS was actually developed in the early 1980s, but no major organization even approved them until the NHRA did in 1996, and even then, they weren't mandatory.
The drivers were pretty resistant to using it,until the Dale Earnhart trash at Daytona.
I didn't say the Rallye Monte Carlo had the reputation of the Indy 500 because it simply hasn't, I just said that it's older than the Indy 500.

No manufactured aero passes and regarded as one of the best races ever.
Why they don't bring back Paul page is beyond me
They did last year for the radio.He isn't there this year though. I liked him. I wish he was doing the 100th running.
Because ABC Sports is more or less ESPN rebranded. And of course, ESPN will make the worst broadcasting teams they can think of.
I agree ESPN's Broadcast for Indycar racing is absolutely horribleBoth Eddie Cheever and Scott Goodyear are Very dry and the Pit reporters are also dry except for Dr Jerry Punch. The need to get Jack Arute And Gary Gerald to join DR Jerry Punch in the pits, and find a way to bring back Paul Page add some other retired Indy car driveres with some personality to do the color comentary
I can’t understand why you wouldn’t have Paul Page calling the race. He’s more than a signature voice, his depth and knowledge are unmatched especially at the Indy 500
Page is the best announcer TV ever had. He's retired now living part time in Florida. He has a twitter account but rarely uses it.
Who's hand is that with the popped blister at 33:53? I've always wondered that for three plus decades?
I believe that was Mears' only crash in the Indy 500 race
they did not have a good party...this is to check steering and make sure this system is optimally operative
Wow
Such wreckfest
So caution

Very carnage

How did Michael Andretti pull 12 seconds on second place in 2 laps?!!????
One sentence: Ford-Cosworth engine.
He usually got a straightaway jump on the whole field.
Anyone know the music for the starting grid segment? 0:05:50
Why were they taking so damned long just to get through the starting lineup? good lord.
Roberto started to race indy cars in the mid 80 s holy crap sam you talking about yourself about the 70s ...
Eddie cheever missed a gear on the start and Mario Andretti's car was down on power.
Its the exact same angle as the one one used int Mears Johncock Finish
The cold year
The old Buick stock-blocks, a question of when, not if, they would break down...Big Al's 3rd place was the only time they made the rostrum.
Cruelest damn moment in sports history at 3:26:23.
UberAntisocialist Lap 177 in 1987 was pretty cruel.
+UberAntisocialist For the viewers, I would say it is 3:35:24 when the director decided to NOT SHOW THE FUCKING FINISH of the race and instead cut to the fucking checkered flag being waved.
Boo hoo
Does anyone know what is the music in the starting field?
The race really should have been delayed to a warmer day. The cold casued wrecks, yellow flag, tires get cold, restart, another wreck, yellow flag, tires get cold, another wreck.....
Why did they cut away at the flag? Couldn't see who won
ABC sometimes would cut away at critical times,it was aggravating.
@@brucesomers7555 not sure which is worse, this or when they cut away him Johncock and Mears side by side in the corner
Awesome! :D Cheers, mate!
Racing was so good at Indy during this era - yes I hate Tony George too. He castrated this race and quite possibly this series. This was at least a decent measure against F1 (at the time). CHEERS on the upload and how do I get the music. YEAH I feel like some power walking.
I'm surprised Michael never got a penalty for his start, in my eyes he seemed to make no attempt at all to remain in grid position.
OMG yes!! He jumped the start a few times.
What kind of crappy camera angle was that at the end of the race? They should have stayed with the one they had. You couldn't even tell when they crossed the finish line who won. At least with Mears vs Johncock they stayed with the same viewing angle as they crossed the finish line.

The theme from "The Delta Force"
So much accidents..
@ 6:19 he will hold that record but only for 2 hours
Although it is a pretty good race, no, it is not the greatest one in the world. The greatest race in the world is the 24h race of Le Mans followed by the 24h of Nürburgring, of Daytona and THEN there is the Indy 500 + Daytona 500. The F1 Grand Prix of Monaco is the next one on the list.

Ayrton Senna!!!!
2😢2
the longer ive watched this race the more i dont like the way its done. the cars are great! the tracks brilliant, the drivers are all more than capable and theres a good mix, but the coverage and the self assured cockyness of the commentators and the producers just makes it almost un watchable for me, everything is 'brought to you by...' or 'courtesy of' and all i'm hearing is how america does it better than anyone else. the sad news is that they really dont, they have much to learn from europe.
Booze and cigarette company sponsors?? That's never gonna happen again.
I hate Tony George.
Nice to see big money loose.
