This illustration portrays a microcosm of how the whole 1991 month of May proceeded for Rick Mears. From his first accident at the ‘Speedway (1978-1991 is a long streak of luck!). Rick came back from the hospital the same day to set the fastest speed of the month in his backup car. He proceeded in getting the pole the following day in time trials. Finally, Rick sealed his forth Indianapolis 500 victory in the most exciting fashion with a shootout vs. Michael Andretti. Race victories do not get much better, nor the stakes any higher! Rick still says it’s his favorite of the four victories he’s had at Indy. I hope you enjoy reliving those memories in your home with this image!
