The death of 65-year-old Bobby Unser Jr. comes just six weeks after his father, Indy 500 winner, Bobby Unser Sr. died at 87.

 
While never making it to Indy like many other members of his family, Bobby Unser Jr.’s auto-racing career was still an impressive one.
 
After race-car driving, Bobby Unser Jr. became a stunt-car driver and coordinator for movies and television.
 
“He found his niche, his talent in the car-commercial industry," Cody Unser told the Albuquerque Journal. "He was still able to do something with an engine.”
 

That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

The Unser family has had a bittersweet history. Sad.

None of us are on this earth forever. Life here is temporary.
