Teo Fabi won the 1987 Indy 500 after inheriting the lead on a late race restart. Hurley Haywood, who led the most laps (75), finished in 3rd place. Contenders Tom Gloy and Steve Kinser were both afflicted by mechanical issues an finished multiple laps down. The team MT Tank put 3 of its 4 drivers in the top 10, an Indy record. Rookie Davy Jones (black/neon blue car in first clip) suffered a broken wrist and a concussion in his lap 14 crash. He will be sidelined for two races and Josele Garza has been slotted as the replacement.  Teo Fabi crossing the finish line for his first Indy 500 victory  |
