Eagle 72 – 7201 – The prototype 1972 Eagle was tested over the winter and then used as AAR’s #6 Olsonite entry for Bobby Unser on “the mile tracks” during 1972, winning at Phoenix, Trenton, Milwaukee and Phoenix again in November.

Bobby Unser observed, “The ’72 Eagle was a great car. We didn’t win the Indy 500 that year, but we broke every record there was. It was the first car to run a 200mph lap and we broke the track record at Indianapolis by 18mph that year, the biggest jump in speed in the history of The Speedway. We had pole after pole after pole.”
