The Resume

    (May 29, 1939-December 9, 2021)
    4 Time Winner of the Indy 500 (1970, 71, 78, 87)
    3 Time USAC-CART National Champion (1970, 83, 85)
    Driver of the Year (1970)
    39 career CART Wins

Why he might be annoying:

    He failed to qualify for his final attempted Indy 500 (1994).
    He was a longshot to win the 1978 Indy 500, but won after the second place car blew its engine.
    He only raced in the 1987 Indy 500 because another driver was injured in an accident.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the third driver to win four Indy 500s.
    He is the first driver to win CART's three 500 mile races in the same year (Indy, Onterio, CA and Pocono, PA - 1978).
    Mario Andretti called Unser 'one of the smartest drivers I've ever raced against.'
    His older brother Bobby and his son Al Unser, Jr., also won the Indy 500 more than once.
