The 1981 Indianapolis 500 race became notable for an incident involving methanol, which burns with an invisible flame. During the race, a collision caused a fire that was not immediately visible. Methanol burns with a clear flame that isn't easily seen in daylight, which makes the fire challenging to detect initially. Several race cars and a safety vehicle were involved in the incident, but, the response was quick once the fire was realized. | The TinderBlog

🏁🏎On May 24, 1981 the 65th Indy 500 was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Bobby Unser crosses the finish line first, but is penalized a lap by track stewards and Mario Andretti is named the winner. However, Unser and car-owner Roger Penske will appeal the decision to the U.S. Auto Club, and 4 months later they win their case. It is Unser's 3rd Indy 500 victory.🏎🏁 | Davenport Sports Network
