May 27, 2022 – Speaking to Wide World of Sports about the downward spiral that played out through his 30s and 40s, Unser Jr laughed when it was suggested the last 10 years have been like a second chance for him.

“Are you kidding me? I’ve been given third and fourth chances,” he said. As he recounted in the book, Unser, Jr., had reached a point where he felt he just couldn’t continue.

“I was covered in a darkness that doesn’t happen overnight,” he wrote.

“It was a long journey from the top of the tallest mountain to the lowest trench in the ocean. The weight of each failure was crushing.

“When did I become a drug addict and an alcoholic? I don’t know. There is no simple test to confirm you are an addict. I had a long, slow fall from grace.”
