1983 Indianapolis 500

Results of the 1983 Indianapolis 500 held at Indianapolis on Sunday, May 29, 1983.

Recap

Three-time runner up Tom Sneva is stuck behind the lapped car of Al Unser, Jr., who is helping protect the lead of his father Al Unser despite being shown the blue "move-over" flag. Sneva takes advantage of some more slower cars to pass both Unsers in daring moves on the mainstretch and third turn on lap 190 and goes on to win. Teo Fabi joins Walt Faulkner in 1950 as one of only two rookies ever to qualify for the pole-position.
