Ed Flemke talks with racing great Billy Vukovich Jr. in the pits after the races. Vukovich Jr. ran midgets, sprint cars and ran in the Indy 500. Vukovich's father won the Indy 500 in 1953 and 1954 and was going for his 3rd straight win when he lost his life in a crash.

Bill Vukovich Jr. had his best Indy 500 finish when he placed 2nd in the rain shortened event in 1973.
