1994 Michigan 500
The 1994 Michigan 500, the fourteenth running of the event, was held at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, on Sunday, July 31, 1994. Branded as the 1994 Marlboro 500 for sponsorship reasons, the race was won by Scott Goodyear, his second Michigan 500 win. It was race number 10 of 16 of the 1994 PPG IndyCar World Series. 42°03′58.68″N 84°14′29.18″W / 42.0663000°N 84.2414389°W
After winning the 1993 Michigan 500, Nigel Mansell won the 1993 CART championship. Mansell returned to team up again with Mario Andretti at Newman/Haas Racing. Andretti embarked on a yearlong Arrivederci Mario tour, announcing he would retire at the conclusion of the 1994 CART season. Penske Racing expanded to a three-car team for 1994, adding Al Unser Jr. Unser won the 1994 Indianapolis 500.
After a dismal season in Formula One, Michael Andretti returned to Indy car racing for 1994, signing with Chip Ganassi Racing. Andretti won the season opening Australian Grand Prix at Surfers Paradise. It was the first Indy car win for Ganassi, as well as the first win for the Reynard chassis (in its Indy car debut). Rahal-Hogan Racing, with drivers Bobby Rahal and Mike Groff, debuted the first Honda Indy car engine, the iron block Honda HRX Indy V-8.
Chevrolet dropped its support of the Ilmor engine program at Indy after 1993. For 1994, the 265C, the 265 C+, and 265D V-8 powerplants were badged the "Ilmor Indy V8."
After its recent scheduling of the first Sunday in August, the Michigan 500 was moved up a week to avoid a conflict with NASCAR's highly anticipated inaugural Brickyard 400.
In Friday's opening practice, Michael Andretti was fastest with a speed of 234.049 mph. Raul Boesel was second at 233.866 mph. Nigel Mansel was third at 232.785 mph. Mario Andretti was fourth at 232.633 mph.
Alessandro Zampedri blew a tire and made hard impact with the turn four wall. Safety crews took 14 minutes to remove him from the car. Zampedri suffered a bruised liver, broken right hip socket, and cuts to his right hand.
In the cool conditions of Saturday morning practice, Nigel Mansell ran a lap with a speed of 235.629 mph.
