NEWS STORY
23/05/2006

Al Unser, Jr. isn't sitting idly on his day away from the race track. Al's media tour blitz begins in the Big Apple today, where he is joining the 32 other drivers of this year's Indianapolis 500. The field rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange and then headed to the USS Intrepid battleship museum for photos and interviews.

Unser is then jetting to Washington D.C., where he will join A1 Team USA owner Rick Weidinger for an appearance on the popular George Michael Sports Machine show. Little Al's media tour will continue tomorrow morning in the D.C. area and include a stop at GEICO headquarters.

GEICO, the country's fourth largest private passenger auto insurer, is the sponsor of the No.31 A1 Team USA/GEICO car this May. Al and Rick will join GEICO CEO Tony Nicely and the company employees for a 'pep rally' for this Sunday's race.

Unser returns to Indy for Wednesday's Community Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he will be signing autographs and joining in the pre-race festivities.

Two-time Indy 500 champion Al Unser, Jr. will make his 18th Indianapolis 500 start this Sunday, May 28 piloting the 'We The People' A1 Team USA/GECIO car.
