One of the world's most iconic auto races, the Indianapolis 500, will be run this Sunday.
In the 111-year history of the Indy 500 only a handful of drivers have won the race three times or more
And only two drivers have won the race in three different decades.
One of them Bobby, Unser, who's part of the storied Unser auto racing family. He won the Indy 500 in 1968, 1975, and 1981.
He and his brother Al are the only set of brothers ever to win the Indy 500.
I met Bobby Unser in the spring of 2003, when he wrote a motivational book called Winners Are Driven.
