Went to the Unser Racing Museum recently. I have a few questions I forgot to ask the tour guide there:
Where was the Unser family's old service station located? On Route 66, but where exactly?
Is Unser Blvd named after the Unsers? I assume so?
Do all the Unsers still live in and around metro Albuquerque?

As some who grew up an hour from the Indy 500 track and followed the race and the family for years, I thought the museum was terrific for one of its size. And the story of the Unsers kind of fascinating.

It is on Unser and Central/Route 66. Southeast Corner. It is attached to a house which one of the Unser's still live in.

Yes it is.

Not all of them. I know Al Jr. lives in Las Vegas, IIRC. Several still live here though.

Went by "Unserville" (as it says on the sign at the property with the old service station) the other day. Thanks for telling me about it. Very interesting.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but Al Unser III is or was the Corvette specialist at Galles Chevrolet.
