This listing is for an original 1985 Indianapolis 500 Official Race Program! The 69th Indianapolis 500 was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, on Sunday, May 26, 1985. The race was won by Danny Sullivan. In one of the most dramatic moments in Indy 500 history, Danny Sullivan took the lead from Mario Andretti on lap 120. But as he was completing the pass, Sullivan's car stepped out, and he lost control. He spun directly in front of Andretti in turn one, doing a complete 360°. Andretti veered to the inside and slipped by unscathed, while Sullivan's car somehow avoided contact with the concrete wall. Sullivan remarkably gathered control without stalling the engine, and continued in the race. About twenty laps later, Sullivan managed to re-pass Andretti for the lead, this time cleanly. Sullivan led the final 61 laps, and scored his first and only Indy victory. It was the fifth Indy win for car owner Roger Penske (Penske Racing), tying the record at the time held by Lou Moore. Not only does this program have great information and photos of the drivers it also has some great ads. Some of the full page advertisements include Coca Cola, Buick, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Oil and Gas Ads and many more This really a rare piece of race history, and overall it’s in good used condition. It does have minor wear and marks and use from being over 30 years old (See Photos). If I had to rate it, I would give it a 8 out of 10, but that is only my opinion, check for the photos and you can judge. You do not come across vintage Indy 500 programs like this very often. The program was owned and loved for many years by a longtime race fan and collector. That is our chance to own this legendary Indy 500 race program before its gone. Also please check out the photos before buying, I use them to describe the condition. Plus let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks for checking out our listing and will combine shipping!
