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.

At its first test session at the Ontario Motor Speedway Bobby Unser reached speeds of just over 190 mph. By the time the 1972 Indianapolis 500 arrived Bobby Unser and the team had increased the speed to set a new fastest lap of 196.678 mph which was a staggering 17 mph faster than the previous year. Later that year Unser would smash the world closed course record with a 201.414 mph in the California 500, again at the Ontario Motor Speedway. Unser would achieve six pole positions in the nine races during the season, taking victory in four of them.
