1967 - Andy Granatelli introduces the STP-Paxton Turbocar, while most of the field remains in rear-engined cars. Even though the turbine-powered car lacked handling, it almost won the 1967 Indy 500 until it broke down with eight miles to go. The problem was caused by a transmission bearing. In 1968, the Turbocar crashed into the wall during qualifying at Indy. Today it is now a museum gem of Indy's two brief years of turbine power. This also marks the first Indy race to not feature a front-engine roadster.
