If you are into auto racing history this nondescript looking building might mean something to you. It is the original Unser Garage site and is just east of Unser Blvd. on Central Avenue SW. In the early 1940s the Unser's ran a wrecking service here and later added a gas station.

x Unserville, the Unser home is located right next to the garage, but it's a home, so respect their privacy.

xThe original Unser Children's Discovery Center and Racing Museum building is across the street from the garage. The newer Unser Racing Museum in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, just a few minutes north of downtown Albuquerque closed permanently in the spring of 2023.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
