FILE - In this May 30, 1967, file photo, Mario Andretti (1) leads the field at the start of the 51st running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis. The race had to be stopped for rain, and was restarted the following day. Gordon Johncock (3), far left, and A.J. Foyt (14), center, the eventual race winner, also compete. When it came to deciding the greatest rivalry, Foyt, Andretti and Bobby Unser received the most attention. 1986 winner Bobby Rahal says "the greatest rivalry had to be A.J. Foyt against anyone else."

FILE - In this May 28, 2006, file photo, Sam Hornish Jr., left, pumps his fist as he beats Marco Andretti to the finish line to win the Indianapolis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis. The Associated Press has updated its survey of living Indianapolis 500 winners and their pick as the greatest race in the long history of the event. There are six races that received multiple votes, topped by Al Unser Jr.’s victory over Scott Goodyear in 1992 — the closest Indy 500 in history. The others are Emerson Fittipaldi's win in 1989; Hornish's win in 2006; the 1982 battle between Rick Mears and Gordon Johncock; the 2011 race won by the late Dan Wheldon; and the 2014 thriller won by Ryan Hunter-Reay.
