IROC completed its first decade with its youngest champion in series history. Al Unser Jr., at age 23, earned his invitation by finished second--by one point--to his father in the 1985 CART/PPG Indy Car World Series standings. However, it was "Big Al" who came home a winner in Race 1, when leader Harry Gant was eliminated with mechanical problems 8 laps from the finish. Bill Elliott and Cale Yarborough failed to pass Unser with traditional Daytona "slingshot" moves on the last lap. In Race 2 at Mid-Ohio, Unser Jr.--now 24 --out-dragged Rahal going into turn one and led all the way as the elder Unser came from last to finish fifth. In Race 3 at Talladega, Yarborough won a record fifth IROC event after passing Rick Mears on the ninth lap. Yarborough led the point totals going into the last race at Watkins Glen, but quickly faded. Unser seemed headed for his second IROC title until an accident, while leading, eliminated him midway through the race. "Little Al" passed Elliott one lap later, and then held him off in a spectacular final-lap battle to earn the IROC championship . . . the third member of the Unser family to do so.
