Time is near for the big race and it made me think of the more memorable moments of this race. I'm sure there are memories that other people will never forget, but there are three memories that I always remember when this race comes around. I think the first thing that comes to mind is the "Spin to Win" by Danny Sullivan. What a trip that was and it's just so special that I'll never forget it. Next is a memory that isn't so good. I'll never forget the sight of Salt Walther's legs protruding out in his canope after that first lap wreck many years ago. That was the worst wreck that I've seen at that track. I don't remember any of the other drivers that were involved, just the sight of Walther's car spinning and his legs. I hope that I never see anything like that again. And lastly for me, one other memory comes to mind each year at this time. It was before the race was televised, a time that I always enjoyed, listening to the race on the radio. I love the race televised, but those old radio days were kind of special in it's own way. Anyway, I will never forget the year that Swede Savage was killed and the way they announced his wreck. Yes, there are other memories of the race, Little Al winning his first one, AJ and his wins. Bobby Unser, Johnny Rutherford and one of my old favorites, Gordy Johncock and his win. There are of course a thousand memories that one could have, but those three memories that I wrote are always the first to come to my mind.

What are your most memorable moments from the race?
