Submitted by Rich Fowler on March 23, 2014
Watch as Danny Sullivan loses control whilst dueling with Mario Andretti, spins out and performs a perfect 360 before winning the race!
Danny Sullivan was leading the 1985 Indy 500 for just a moment before he ran out of down force and entered an uncontrollable slide. A quick thinking Mario Andretti swerved to the left to avoid collision, and Sullivan is able to bring his wheels back around and turn the spin into a near perfect 360 degree maneuver. The best part is – he went on to win the race!
