Both Unsers started on the front row in real life, but it was Bobby on pole.

Race #14 - Miller High Life 150
The CART Series made their 14th and final stop of 1979 at the Phoenix International Raceway, in Avondale, Arizona, for the Miller High Life 150.
A packed crowd was on hand at the Phoenix International Raceway for the season finale as the CART Series made their second ever stop at the one mile track. Al Unser quickly began to pull away from the field as a lack of cautions resulted in Unser completely dominating the day, losing the lead only during the lone pit stop of the race. Back out front Unser held off Gordon Johncock to score his second win of the season.
Other Noticeables:
Al Unser scored his 2nd win of the year,
Unser led 2 times for 149 laps, including the final 66 laps,
It was the 2nd win of his career in the CART Series and his first since Trenton; 10 races ago,

Little Al also won the real race!
As for the points, Rick Mears was also the 1979 champ in real life, but it was by 240 points over Bobby Unser.
