Clark took car number 82 to victory in 1965, leading the race for 190 of its 200 laps and becoming the first driver to average more than 150mph over the 500 mile event.
Dario Franchitti, also a Scots racer and a man with a pretty strong record of his own, is clearly impressed by his countryman's exploits - which is nice. If you've got five minutes, it's worth a watch.
