Show ililiUiiiihillii Veterans and new faces top Indianapolis 500 action By Stephen English cTVData Features Syndicate Two hundred laps, MX) miles. H drivers, 220 mph, 85 years. IVInnd all ihe numbers, there's an awful loi of drama going into this year's Indianapolis 500 auto race, airing Sunday. May 27, on ABC. Highlighting this year's "Greatest "Great-est Spectacle in Racing" is a matchup of the seasoned and the fresh-faced. While the field could include up to four previous !ndy MX) winners - which would be the first time that's happened since 1 994 - the favorite to take the Borg-Wamer Trophy is whip-persnapper whip-persnapper Sam Homish Jr. The 2 1 -year-old Homish has won his first two Northern Light Series races this season and placed fourth in the third. He would be the youngest driver ever to win the Indy 500. To win, however, he must steer clear of a tough pack of racers, including in-cluding Ane Luyendyk, Al Unser Jr.. Buddy Laier and Rddic Cheever Jr. These four have all tasted victory al Indianapolis he-lore. he-lore. Plus, Homish faces competition competi-tion from his Panther Racing teammate Michael Andrctti. who enters the Indy 5(X) alter a siv vear absence with a thirst for his first checkered flag there. Andret-ti. Andret-ti. another second-generation great, has a career 382 laps led. more than any racer who hasn't won. And. -allhomih Homivh won't see last vear's champ. Juan Mon-loa. Mon-loa. who's doing l-omiula One racing lor BMW tins car. he also will have lo lend oil a crop o! rising ris-ing voung talent. That includes Sarah I isher. who m 2000 became itist the third woman to drive in the race; Casey Mears. nephew oi four-time Indy K) winner Kick Mears; Cory Wnhcr-ill; Wnhcr-ill; and l elipe ( iialfone. ine rookie rook-ie points leader in the Northern I.il'Ih Series this season. I'unsts are sure to delmhi in the return ol the Indy 51 XI to its traditional tradi-tional three-week lonnat lor the first time in lour years. The extravagant ex-travagant lime to pertect the cars - many events give takers a paltry 5 E ...V iHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiininnnnHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii three days - should make for ev en fiercer competition. Compeling not only against other oth-er racers, but also against lime, is I nscr. Alter four years of not compeling at the Indy 500, he look up a quest last year to till his father's shoes. Al Sr. won the Big Race four tunes in his distinguished career. Al Jr. has won twice, in 1992 and 1904, bul he's also 39 years old. He knows he doesn't have much - Wednesday, May 23, 2001 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirnMi time left lo double his career Indy 500 victories. If Al Jr. can pull it off, he would become only the fourth driver ever to achieve the feat, sharing the pedestal with his father, A.J. Foyt and Mears. Al Sr. won back-to-back 500s in 1970-71, and no other racer has done it since. (Montoya's absence this year ensures en-sures that it won't happen until 2002 at the earliest.) With his ambition am-bition kicked into high gear, could Al Jr. duplicate Daddy's feat? Unser has admitted that his return re-turn last year was to take care of unfinished business. In his appearance ap-pearance in 1 995. just one year after af-ter his second Indy 500 championship, champi-onship, he failed to even qualify for the race. A sidebar at this year's race is the story of Elaine Irwin-Mellen-camp, who becomes the first woman ever to pace the Indy 500. The fashion model, mother of two lllllillilllilllllilllllllli and wife of Indiana rocker John Mellencamp drives a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada. the first lime a sport utility vehicle has been used.
