No. 18 — Lloyd Ruby — 1973 Commander Motor Homes Eagle/Offy

The quiet Texan always ranks high on fans’ list of “Drivers who should have won the 500.” And with good reason.

Ruby, for example, led the most laps in the 1966 race and often was a top contender in other 500s before being sidelined with mechanical woes.

In 1973, he was out after 21 laps with a broken piston, finishing 27th.
