This is a thing I've done over a course of 4-5 years, on and off. The simulated 500's started in "1961" and have since progressed into "1982". The main idea of the simulation is to take some of the best drivers of the era and pit them against each other for only one race a year. Listed below are winners from the past five races. Also, the 1982 Indianapolis 500 will be broadcasted shortly in this thread.
1977- Pat Flaherty
1978- Jack Faddon
1979- Danny Sullivan
1980- Danny Onagis
1981- Dempsey Wilson

Lap 21/200: Onagis has taken the lead back from Kinser, and the two cars run nose to tail. About a half-second behind them, Danny Sullivan has moved into third.
*Also* John Mahler was unable to start the race, and has been relegated to the garage for the entirety of the event. According to the #32 team, they have no plans to enter the race after missing the first twenty-or-so laps.
