Indeed, the Nevada native heeded the advice on the 2.5‐mile oval during a special refresher program arranged in conjunction with his schedule that will get more hectic during May. Jacques Villeneuve, the 1995 Indianapolis 500 winner, was the other driver on the track progressing through a refresher course. Busch, 35, will attempt to become the fourth driver to attempt the "double" ‐‐ competing in the 98th Indianapolis 500 and the evening stock car race in Concord, N.C., on May 25. He won the latter in 2010. John Andretti, Robby Gordon and Tony Stewart have each done it, with Stewart ‐‐ co‐owner of Busch's No. 41 Sprint Cup car at Stewart Haas Racing ‐‐ becoming the first in 2001 to complete all 1,000 miles. Kurt Busch "This attempt is something serious," said Busch, who is scheduled to join other Indy 500 rookies May 5 at the Speedway for additional laps. "It's an amazing challenge." Busch was off to a quick start learning the Honda‐powered No.

    Models of the World’s Most Exciting Cars #4951 1977 Indianapolis 500® Winner #14 A.J. Foyt/Gilmore Coyote PORSCHE® #4807 1976 Indianapolis 500® #68 Tom Sneva/Norton McLaren #4762 1967 Indianapolis 500® #6 Bobby Unser/Eagle 2005 Catalog Limited Edition Die-cast Models Every racing fan has a sentimental favorite car that they would especially love to own as a model. For me, that sentimental favorite car is Mark Donohue’s 1972 Indianapolis 500®–winning Penske Racing #66 Sunoco McLaren M16B. Imagine how excited I am to be able to offer you the first-ever die-cast model of this car. We began this project with hundreds of photos and measurements of the actual Donohue car in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum®. As we proceeded with the design, we acquired many photos of the car from 1972 and photos of similar McLarens undergoing restoration. We were surprised at how few parts were shared with the later Indy® McLarens we’ve already done. And we think you’ll be surprised and pleased at the extra detail we’ve added. Best Regards, 2005 RELEASE ® #4821 1972 Indianapolis 500 Winner #66 Mark Donohue/Sunoco McLaren 2005 RELEASE ® #4807 1976 Indianapolis 500 #68 Tom Sneva/Norton McLaren ® #4806 1976 Indianapolis 500 #6 Mario Andretti/CAM 2 McLaren SOLD OUT ® #4708 1973 Indianapolis 500 #66 Mark Donohue/Sunoco Eagle 2 The long awaited 1977 Indianapolis 500® winning A.J. Foyt/Gilmore Coyote model is here. Foyt’s fourth Indy® victory is celebrated because he was the first driver to win the Memorial Day Classic four times, and it’s much more than that.
