The Indianapolis 100 brought some very close racing as it’s done in all 4 editions in the Retro CART League. Unfortunately, it got too close early on: On lap 8, the leaders were headed 3 wide into turn one. It got too close and the mayhem that followed took out almost half the field, including pole sitter Johnny Hamby, Mike Zakar, Robert Love and others. Breuning carried on, but he was way off the pace.
What followed was a spectacular race with different players, Chris Brown, Bill Smithem, Charles Harris, Trey Mitts were among the drivers fighting side by side for the race lead. A late accident put Brown and Kielblock in the fence and the fight was between Smithem and Harris; Charles took the win with a final pass off turn 4 and crossed the line 0.001 second ahead of Bill Smithem!
