Chassis:
Chassis 2K-01 was the first of three Chaparral USAC/CART racers constructed. From the Indy 500, it was raced by Al Unser during the 1979 season. Unser finally scored a victory in the final round of the year at Phoenix. During 1980, it was raced by Johnny Rutherford in his run to the championship. It was also one of the two cars used by Rutherford during the build-up to the Indy 500. Today it is owned by the Indianapolis Hall of Fame Museum and is currently in full running order. It is seen here during the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed where the Indy 500 centennial was celebrated. Among its drivers were Johnny Rutherford and also the late Dan Wheldon.
