British racing legend Jackie Stewart earned three Formula One championships, but Indianapolis Motor Speedway was one mountain he couldn’t climb. He made two starts at Indianapolis, finishing a career-best sixth in 1966. He likely would have won that year, but a part failure cost him the race with less than 10 laps left.
