The Unser Racing Museum, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A., is a non-profit museum celebrating the accomplishments of New Mexico’s native racing family, the Unsers. The museum celebrates multiple generations of Unsers, from patriarch Jerry Unser, to Al Unser III.
Shaped like a steering wheel, the museum features multiple exhibits, and actual racecars driven by the Unsers. There is also a rotating exhibit, featuring a new racing aspect every few months.
Famous quotes containing the words racing and/or museum:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
