Bergere Aims For Indy 500 Amid Peril and Records
Speedway patriarch Cliff Bergere, 51, returns for the Indianapolis 500 as 33 cars push to 170 mph on a 2.5 mile track. He has driven 6,417 miles at Indy and finished in the top ten more times than any rival, yet awaits a first win. Bergere survived a recent crash involving Ralph Hepburn as front wheels allegedly locked on a car he planned to race.
