Unser Jr. arrested on DWI charge

Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr. has been arrested on charges of drunken driving and reckless driving in New Mexico.

KRQE-TV reports that the 49-year-old was arrested Thursday morning in Albuquerque, where he lives. Authorities say Unser was drag racing another car in his Suburban and was going over 100 mph (160 kph).

He was charged with reckless driving and aggravated driving while intoxicated.

Unser was released from jail on his own recognizance.

It was unclear if he had an attorney. No one answered a phone call to a number listed under his name.

Unser, who is retired, won the Indianapolis 500 in 1992 and 1994.
