...homes. Customers often clock them to the second, since the 2,000-shop chain promises a discount if the pie takes longer than 30 minutes to arrive. To help drive home the point, Domino's sponsored a race car that finished fifth in the Indianapolis 500, with Al Unser Jr. behind the wheel...
Twenty years ago, Andretti finished third, Johncock fifth and Al Unser ninth in their first Indy, when a bumper haul of eleven rookies made the field of 33 and five finished in the top ten. "An eternity ago," says Andretti, 45, a compact man with a Roman bearing. "It doesn't seem that long" to Unser, 45, who at first professed to understand Johncock's decision.

First, Bobby Unser hoisted the Indy trophy after his Penske-Cosworth received the checkered flag. The next morning, race stewards stripped Unser of his third Indianapolis title and gave it to Mario Andretti, who had finished second. Unser passed eight or nine cars, violating a rule that bans drivers from improving their positions while a yellow caution flag is in effect. Unser was penalized one lap, moving Andretti up from second money ($168,674) to first ($262,424). Unser appealed the decision...
