What happens here

The black IROC Camaro, driven by Al Unser in IROC, was previously driven by Niki Lauda. This car is also prepared for static display. The host recounts the story of Niki Lauda's attempt to race this car, burning out the clutch during pace laps due to a conflict with Bernie Ecclestone, and thus only being credited with last place. The vehicle is currently owned by Bill Warner, founder of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
