Mr.
Danny Sullivan is a former racing driver from the United
States. In 1984 competed in the CART (Championship Auto
Racing Teams) open-wheel series winning the Indianapolis
500 in 1985. The "spin and win" footage of his red and
white Miller American doing a 360 down the short chute
at Indy after passing Mario Andretti for the lead has
been played on countless motorsports programs. Recovering
from the spin undamaged except for flat-spotted tires,
Sullivan went into the pits for new rubber, then returned
to the track and passed Mario a second time to go on
for the win. Danny would set the pace at Indy again
in 1988, leading 91 of the first 101 laps, until he
drifted out and hard into the turn 1 wall. Nevertheless,
he went on to win the CART series title for Roger Penske
that year.
