Bobby Unser Eyes 200 MPH Indy Lap Feasibility
Indy 500 veteran Bobby Unser predicts a 200 mph lap at Indianapolis is possible, perhaps not this year but soon. He posted an unofficial 194.721 mph four-lap run and a 192.318 single lap, signaling faster speeds due to quicker short chute times, with several drivers already approaching 191 mph+. The narrative notes Bettenhausen and Revson also contending, as rivals prepare for qualifying.
