Classic Rewind's look at the 1987 Indy car season continues this week with Round 6, the Meadowlands Indy, around the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, NJ.
Bobby Rahal wins his second race of the 1987 season, leaving pit lane ahead of Michael Andretti after Andretti's team has issues changing the left rear tire. Mario Andretti would valiantly attempt to chase down Rahal during the final stages, but would come up short.
Rahal, the 1986 Indy car champion, would take over the 1987 CART PGG Indy Car Championship points standings over Michael Andretti by four points, 74-70.
