Goodyear could have won the 1995 race, driving with Tasman Motorsports, but after leading 42 laps, he mistakenly passed the pace car on a late, very slow restart.

He might have won if not for a controversial restart on the last lap, when the green and white flag waved despite the on-track lights still signaling yellow.

Goodyear, who had expected the race to finish under caution, was weaving his car to keep his tires warm at the time of the restart.

He retired from his racing career after a crash with Sarah Fisher in the 2001 Indianapolis 500 and then he became a color analyst for ABC and ESPN's coverage of the IndyCar Series, with Paul Page, Jack Arute, Rusty Wallace, Todd Harris, Marty Reid, Allen Bestwick and Eddie Cheever.
