Past Winners in the 500




We did a young drivers post,
and now we are doing a post
on the older more experienced 
drivers and past winners 

 They include...


Helio Castroneves: 3 time winner
'01, '02, '09
 
Tony Kanaan: 1 time winner
'13
 
Scott Dixon: 1 time winner
'08
   
Juan Pablo Montoya: 1 time winner
'00
 

 
Buddy Lazier: 1 time winner
'96


Jacques Villeneuve: 1 time winner
'95


The record number of past winners in the field for the 500 was 10 in 1992 with a combined total of 20 wins. There were also 3 future winners in the race. (Al Unser, Jr., Buddy Lazier & Eddie Cheever)
The neatest part was that all three 4 time winners were in the 500 that year.


The former winners in that race were:

A. J. Foyt (4 wins)
Al Unser, Sr. (4)
Rick Mears (4)
Gordon Johncock (2)
Mario Andretti (1)
Tom Sneva (1)
Danny Sullivan (1)
Bobby Rahal (1)
Emerson Fittipaldi (1)
Arie Luyendyk (1)


Will we see a four time winner this year?
Or maybe another 2 time champ. 
We can't wait!
