After coming oh-so-close in the 1992 Indianapolis 500, Scott Goodyear pulled away from the field in the final green-flag stint to win the 1992 Marlboro 500 at Michigan International Speedway
For the next few weeks, Classic Rewind will feature vintage Indy car races from the years celebrating anniversaries in 2017. This week, we travel back to 1992 and the race you've picked is the Marlboro 500 at Michigan International Speedway.
While 1992 may be best remembered for the Indianapolis 500 duel between Al Unser Jr., and Scott Goodyear, the other 500-mile race that season was just as compelling. Like Indianapolis, Michael Andretti dominated early before falling out with mechanical issues. Mario Andretti took the point after his son's retirement and held the lead as Goodyear and fellow Canadian Paul Tracy fought their way to the front.
Tracy eventually got to the front and built a sizeable lead on Goodyear until the final caution flew with 20 laps to go. That set up a fight between the two Canadians for the win.
Next week, we'll head forward five years for races from 1997. Click the poll below to pick the race you'd like to see.
