Were his last name not Unser, Bobby Jr.’s auto racing résumé would be impressive enough. As a youth, he found success at Speedway Park in Albuquerque, winning three races in seven starts in 1979.

Two years earlier, at age 21, he won a sprint-car main event at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix. His dad, who was part of his son’s race crew that day, called it “The happiest moment of my life.”

Bobby Jr. never won the Pikes Peak International Hill climb, which other members of the family won a remarkable 24 times. But he twice finished second, and as of 1986 held the open-wheel qualifying record of 5 minutes, 8.16 seconds.

In 1978, he survived a harrowing crash in Pikes Peak qualifying. Two days later, he climbed back in his car and finished as runner-up.
