During time trials, <a href="/wiki/Rick_Mears" title="Rick Mears">Mears</a> also established an Indy record by winning his sixth career <a href="/wiki/List_of_Indianapolis_500_pole-sitters" title="List of Indianapolis 500 pole-sitters">pole position</a>. The month of May for Mears was tumultuous, as he suffered his first ever crash at Indy since arriving as a rookie in 1977. The wreck during a practice run totaled his primary car, and broke a bone in his right foot. Mears kept the injury mostly secret, and later admitted that the pain he experienced during the race was so bad, he had to cross his legs in the car and push the <a href="/wiki/Automobile_pedal" class="mw-redirect" title="Automobile pedal">accelerator pedal</a> down with his left foot.<sup id="cite_ref-Star05-23-1992_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Star05-23-1992-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The race was noteworthy in that it featured the first <a href="/wiki/African_American" class="mw-redirect" title="African American">African American</a> driver to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, <a href="/wiki/Willy_T._Ribbs" title="Willy T. Ribbs">Willy T. Ribbs</a>. It also saw its first Japanese driver, <a href="/wiki/Hiro_Matsushita" title="Hiro Matsushita">Hiro Matsushita</a>. The pre-race attention going into the month focused on <a href="/wiki/A._J._Foyt" title="A. J. Foyt">A. J. Foyt</a>, who was expected to retire from driving after the event. During time trials, Foyt qualified on the front row, his record 34th consecutive Indy appearance. On race day, however, Foyt dropped out early due to suspension damage. He eventually retracted his retirement plans, and returned one final time in <a href="/wiki/1992_Indianapolis_500" title="1992 Indianapolis 500">1992</a>. </p><p>During time trials, a sudden rain shower halted pole qualifying, unexpectedly shutting out several contenders from a chance at the front row. A number of top drivers were forced to qualify on the second day of time trials. <a href="/wiki/Gary_Bettenhausen" title="Gary Bettenhausen">Gary Bettenhausen</a> in a <a href="/wiki/Buick" title="Buick">Buick</a>-powered machine was the surprise fastest qualifier, albeit he was ineligible for the pole position.

Michael, Mario, and John all finished in the top ten, while Jeff was named the <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis_500_Rookie_of_the_Year" title="Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year">Rookie of the Year</a>. Michael Andretti led the most laps during the race and battled Rick Mears for the win in the closing laps. Andretti executed a daring pass for the lead on the outside of turn one on lap 187. Mears, however, made a similar pass one lap later to re-take the lead, and drove to victory. Michael's second-place finish would ultimately be his career best finish at Indy. </p><p>The race was sanctioned by <a href="/wiki/United_States_Auto_Club" title="United States Auto Club">USAC</a>, and was included as part of the <a href="/wiki/1991_CART_PPG_Indy_Car_World_Series" title="1991 CART PPG Indy Car World Series">1991 CART PPG Indy Car World Series</a>. Morning rain delayed the start of the race by about 55 minutes. The rain stopped, the track was dried, and the race was run to completion without interruption. Later in the year, Rick Mears would also win the <a href="/wiki/Firestone_Indy_400" class="mw-redirect" title="Firestone Indy 400">Michigan 500</a>, sweeping both 500-mile races for the season, the final two victories of his racing career. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pre_May_News">Pre May News</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1991_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Pre May News"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:1991_Dodge_Viper_RT-10_Indy_500_Pace_Car.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/1991_Dodge_Viper_RT-10_Indy_500_Pace_Car.jpg/220px-1991_Dodge_Viper_RT-10_Indy_500_Pace_Car.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/1991_Dodge_Viper_RT-10_Indy_500_Pace_Car.jpg/330px-1991_Dodge_Viper_RT-10_Indy_500_Pace_Car.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/1991_Dodge_Viper_RT-10_Indy_500_Pace_Car.jpg/440px-1991_Dodge_Viper_RT-10_Indy_500_Pace_Car.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4032" data-file-height="3024" /></a><figcaption>1991 Dodge Viper RT/10 Indy 500 Pace Car, on display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's "From the Vault" exhibit, December 2019</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/A._J._Foyt" title="A.

White, 31, of Indianapolis, entered the grounds of the speedway early on Wednesday, May 29. At some point before 7:30 a.m., he started driving around the track in a GMC pickup truck. He completed three or four laps, approaching speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h). Luther Wray, a foreman in the speedway's maintenance department attempted to block his truck by parking a Dodge Caravan minivan on the track near the start-finish line. White was driving approximately 90 mph (140 km/h) when he struck the van, his truck became airborne and landed approximately 150 feet (46 m) away.
