Bobby, Al and Al Unser, Jr. have visited the museum to look over the exhibit, and they came away visibly impressed. "For the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum to honor my family is just tremendous. It's really hard to put into words how much it actually means," said Al Unser Jr. "As you go through the exhibit you are going to see my dad's career, my uncle Bobby's career, my whole family's career on display here, it's just a huge honor and we're very excited and we truly hope everyone enjoys what we've put our heart and soul into."

One of the rooms displays Indy cars and another room shows cars raced by the Unsers up Pikes Peak, on dirt tracks along with sports cars and stock cars, too. In addition, fans can gain additional insight with a walk- ing audio tour available through their respective smart phones. "It's really nice of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Mu- seum to honor the Unser family.

According to Jason Vansickle, assistant curator of the museum, "Bobby's house is like a museum -- all his tro- phies, helmets, knicknacks, belt buckles and everything he's collected over the years are there, and he was gra- cious enough to let us take whatever we wanted."

(www.aarwba.org) “Dedicated To Increasing Media Coverage Of Motor Sports” 2 By Joe Jennings Will Power is enjoying the thrill of victory more than ever before. While he has won 33 times on the Verizon Indy- Car Series circuit, none compares with that of winning the Indianapolis 500 - the race he wondered if he would ever win. Will and Liz Power kissing the famed Yard of Bricks. The newest winner of the Indianapolis 500 will have many obli- gations going forward, but knowing he finally won the most im- portant race in the world should allow him to sleep peacefully, at last. Less than 24 hours after taking the checkered flag in the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500, Power returned to the track for the winner's photoshoot and to continue an ambitious round of interviews. While all smiles, Power said he hardly slept at all as his adrenaline rush continued unabated. He had joined his team late Sunday evening for a victory party but since he doesn't drink, there was no hangover, just a spillover from his big day on Sunday. "This was the perfect day. No mistakes were made on pit lane. I just thought about what it took to win this race," Power said. "Finally, I won this race, and it took a lot of weight off my shoulders." Power is not known as an accomplished oval track driv- er, but he has won seven of them with four being 500- mile races. "I knew I had won three previously but this is the one I couldn't get done." Winning team of Roger Penske, Will Power and team president Tim Cindric. While Sunday's race was the second hottest ever, the heat didn't bother Power. "I wasn't really that hot as I had some fast air coming in," he commented. "The heat did make it more difficult to drive as the track got very slippery, which took a lot of grip and downforce out of the car. It was hard to follow and you really had to drive. You were rarely wide open; I might have done one lap wide open." Power is highly respected by his peers, and one of the highlights of his post-race activities was when (Alexan- der) Rossi, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Graham Rahal and Oriol Servia came on the track during the victory lap to greet the winner. "That meant a lot to me when they came out to congratulate me - all guys I respect massively. Dario (Franchitti) congratulated me, too. There were so many that were happy to see me win. I just saw Ed Carpenter, too. I had a great battle with him, and I knew he was the Will Power gives all-important kiss to Borg-Warner Trophy. guy I had to beat."

    FAST FACT During the tire building process, heat and pressure are applied to form the tire in a process known as vulcanizing. This transformation process is named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. Here in Birmingham, there is a 56-foot statue of Vulcan that overlooks downtown from Red Mountain. Confetti flies in Victory Lane following the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach as podium finishers (and Penske teammates) Juan Pablo Montoya and Helio Castroneves celebrate with winner Scott Dixon. Chris Owens/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: DIXIE DOES IT: Scott Dixon (right) had just one top- five finish in eight starts at Long Beach entering last weekend’s race, but when the checkered flag flew on Sunday he came away a victor, earning his 36th overall race win and breaking a tie for fifth with Bobby Unser on the all-time Indy car wins list. Can Dixon carry the winning momentum from the West Coast to Barber Motorsports Park? PENSKE LOOKS TO CONTINUE BARBER DOMINATION: Team Penske has won three of the previous five Verizon IndyCar Series races at Barber Motorsports Park and team owner Roger Penske will look to add another trophy to his team’s collection during the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama with a strong four- car stable that has been dominant through the first three races of the season. HUNTER-REAY GOES FOR ALABAMA HAT TRICK: Andretti Autosport’s Ryan Hunter-Reay is the only driver to keep Team Penske out of victory lane at Barber Motorsports Park with his back-to-back wins at the track in 2013 and 2014.

    For Immediate Release Information Contact: Laura Baker January, 2005 781-228-2108 Championship Winning PTG Racing Signs RJ Valentine for 2005 Grand-Am Rolex Series Winchester, VA – December 7, 2004 Performance Technology Group (PTG), the factory BMW racing team and 2004 Grand-American GT-class champion, has signed endurance racing legend RJ Valentine to contest the 2005 Rolex Sports Car Series in a BMW M3. The team will combine strength with strength by adding Valentine to its potent driver’s lineup, as it combines the team’s celebrated history and mechanical innovation with RJ’s years of experience and rapid pace at North America’s best circuits. Valentine, a Boston-based business leader and accomplished road racer, is fresh off of a highly successful 2004 racing season, as he and teammates Chris Gleason and Ian James battled the PTG BMW’s to 3rd place in the GT class driver’s championship. Teaming with Valentine in the 2005-spec M3 will be sportscar star Kelly Collins, a former Corvette works driver and winner of the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. “I’ve known and raced against [PTG Team Principal] Tom Milner for ten years, and having the opportunity to race for his team is incredible,” said Valentine. “He is a consummate pro, and his top priority is to win – whether in business or in racing, that’s the kind of attitude I seek out in people. I thought he was joking when he approached me about running the season with him, but I’m thankful for the opportunity and looking forward to the first day of testing at Daytona.” BMW and its brand attributes mirror the qualities that Valentine instills in all of his businesses.
