In one of the most pivotal races of his career, Al Unser Sr. had to decide whether he was a racer or a father.
He chose racer. In reality, he was both.
By finishing fourth in the final race of the 1985 CART championship, Unser Sr. denied his son Al Unser Jr. the title by one point.
“I pulled alongside of him, I tried to tell him that I was sorry,” Unser Sr. said years later.
No apology was necessary.
