12 THE TEBRE HATJTE STAB, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1965 Curtis Turner Cops American 500 Race As Fords Hog Show ROCKINGHAM, N. C. (ffl Curtis Turner, 42-year-old Ford driver, won American 500 the inaugural stock car race Sunday at the North Carolina Motor Speedway. The victory gave Fords clean sweep of all nine major NASCAR races this season. Turner, leading most of the race, took over for good on the 474th lap of the 500-lap race and rtood off the late challenge of Cale Yarborough.

It was Turner's first victory since his return to racing in July following his four-year suspension by Yarborough, also driving a Ford, finished second. Turner's teammate, Marvin Panch, finished third in a Ford. Fourth place went to G. C. Spencer, in a 1964 Ford, and Richard Petty was fifth in a 1965 Plymouth.

The 42-year-old Turner won $13,090, including lap and accessory money. Turner's average speed was 101.942 miles per hour. Turner, who won his first race in 1956 and also took the Southern 500 at Darlington, S.C., that Ford, $13,090. year, hadii't since 1961. won a big race Chevrolet, and Paul Lewis 10th in a 1964 Ford.

The race was comparatively free of accidents. The most spectacular wreck occurred on the tricky on the first lap. John Sears, a rookie, spun into the top rail and drivers Wayne Smith, Darei Dieringer, Lewis and Henley Gray became involved. Only Lewis and Gray were able to continue. 1, Curtis Turner, Charlotte, N.C., 1965 Tunmonsville, 2, Cale Yarborough, S.C..

In Sunday's grind of 4 hours 54 minutes, 17 seconds over the liew one-mile North Carolina Motor Speedway, the old professional drove perhaps the steadiest ract of his career. Turner had a broken rib suf' fered two weeks ago in the National 400 Race at Charlotte, N.C. He lost most of the braking power on his race car.

Despite these handicaps, he led on lour occasions, one time for more than 100 miles. He never was out of position to challenge the front-runner. One by one, he stood off the challenges of such younger stars as Petty, who started in the front row; Bobby Isaac, David Pearson and finally Yarbrough. For Petty, it was a frustrating day. The 24-year-old ace of the pute over team, driving in his first distance race this year because of a Chrysler-NASCAR dispute over engines and chassis specifications, lost Ms own car when he was involved in a three-car collision on lap 58.

On lap' Petty switched to the Plymouth started by stable- mate Jim Paschal and quickly put it into contention. He got the lead on lap 275 and was more than one lap in front when he had to make a lengthy pit stop because of distributor trouble. Turner took over and he was never further back than third place ifter that. It was the first distance race in which the Chrysler and Ford products were matched on the NASCAR circuit this season. The Paschal Plymouth, driven at the finish by Petty, was the only one of two factory-backed Plymouths and two Dodgers to finish.

Yarborough picked up $6,450 and Panch $4,010. As a result, the Wood brothers of Stuart. who own the Turner and Panch cars, won $17,100 of the $60,000 purse. Some of the season's top money winners went out early. Junior Johnson, who shared the front row start with Petty, left on lap 171 with a blown angine.

Fred Lorenzen, the circuit's leading money winner, was sidelined early with distributor trouble. Both drove Fords. J. T. Putney finished sixth hi a Chevrolet, Dick Hutcherson Jets Smash Broncs, 45-10 NEW YORK (AP) Three interceptions and the running of Snell propelled the New York Jets to a 24-point second quarter and their first American Football League victory Sunday, a 45-10 walloping of the Denver Broncos.
