As INDYCAR celebrates Black History Month in February, we are honored to revisit some of the great moments of the sport. In 1991, Willy T. Ribbs made history by becoming the first African American racer to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, and in Denver, he scored his best career finish, scoring an impressive 6th Place against a star-studded field.
