PHOTO INFORMATION:
- While covering the Indianapolis 500 for Trucking International in 1991, Duncan captured this beautiful shot looking north down the front stretch of the rain soaked track at 6:00 AM, race day morning, May 26, 1991. While never a sight you want to see the morning of the Indianapolis 500, we thought it fitting for our Photo of the Week feature this week since the 104th edition of the race has been postponed until August 23, 2020 due to the Coronavirus. Even though the 75th Running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing began with rain, Rick Mears would triumph that day, becoming only the third driver to ever win the 500 four times.
