Bobby Unser won the first of his three Indianapolis 500 victories in 1968. One of the STP-sponsored turbine-powered cars was expected to take the checkered flag that year, but mechanical problems took them out. Unser had his own gearbox troubles toward the end of the race, but he managed to cross the finish line with a nearly full-lap lead.
