Racing great Bobby Unser, a three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 who came from a racing family, died Sunday at his New Mexico home, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway said. He was 87.

Unser was one of six members of his family to race in the Indy 500. His brother Al Unser won it four times -- making them the only pair of brothers to win the iconic race -- and his nephew Al Unser Jr. won it twice. After his racing days ended, Unser had a 20-year broadcasting career.
