Birthday wishes to a real favourite racer here - Danny Sullivan.

Famously the winner of the 1985 'spin and win' Indy 500, he added the 1988 NTT INDYCAR SERIES title & 16 wins either side of his 1983 season in Formula 1 with Tyrrell.

He also took 3rd...

It's Danny Sullivan's birthday today, a great occasion to once again share this story which I wrote in 2020 for Champweb.

During the early pandemic months, Danny Sullivan took lots of time to talk to me about his 1991 CART season with Alfa Romeo. medium.com/@mrdemmendaal/…

Danny Sullivan, who turns 74 today, had one year in #F1 , ’83, for Tyrrell. Shaded by his experienced team-mate Michele Alboreto, he showed well for a rookie, the highlight of his season 5th at Monaco in a Tyrrell 011 (pic), a handsome race car designed by Maurice Philippe. (1/2)

“The Men and Machines of Indycar Racing” is an evocative title Marshall Pruett RP was repping Rolex way back and Danny Sullivan was buddies with Diamond Dave and swapping Danny Tepper stories with Don Johnson. Good times!

Sam Posey spoke to Danny Sullivan on the radio after his spin (mind you this is in 1985!). Listen below to hear what he had to say.

Then, vote in #momentmadness !

Great to see so many race fans Daytona International Speedway Rolex 24hr. 🏁 Thanks Gunnar Racing for letting me take the Dauer 962 Porsche for a spin around the track😆😆😎!

What would you do if you rolled up to your taxi and Danny Sullivan was your driver?

Did you know the 1985 #Indy500 winner had these various odd jobs before becoming a legendary race car driver?

Gil was a special driver, very special at car setup and big picture vision. He was a good friend, always a smile and great fun to be with. Shocked like everyone with his passing. A huge loss for his family, friends and the racing community. May he rest in peace. 🙏

Thank you Formula 1 @FIA and everybody I've worked with over the years. What tremendous experience(s) it was. Never lift! 🏁🏆😎

I know who would build my next race car … 😆😆

Did you hear the one about the F1 scribbler and the two ex-Champcar yakkers? #MexicoCityGP
