During Jones' first pit stop, precious time was lost by a malfunctioning fuel hose. Examination after he had left the pit revealed that a mechanic's rag was wedged irf the back of the nozzle connection. Another favorite who fell victim to bad luck was Roger Ward who experienced suspension failure on the Bryant Heating and Cooling Special.

I have to stay with Jimmy because he'll think he won and come down to Victory Lane." the fouled-up start occurred. "They're starting too slow," Granatelli said. "There is no throttle response at such a slow speed.

Some guys are in second gear, some are in third and there is too much difference in acceleration." Andy immediately sent his Fengler explained fully the procedure, and informed Chapman the results would be posted on the USAC office door at the Speedway at 8 a.m. today and he had 30 minutes from that time to enter a protest. "Okay," Chapman said. o'clock on your door, right?" Rumor was rife yesterday that Clark had been penalized a lap, but Granatelli said the starter would have given him a black flag. "We were never told about it," he said.

From the very start, the Golden Anniversary event not only was one of controversy, but one of attrition, especially on the first lap. Of the 16 cars involved in the pileup at the start, 11 suffered varying degrees of damage down to the completely destroyed Jerry Alderman Lotus-Ford which caught fire.

They wouldn't have needed their wild animals. All they would have had to bring was the clowns. The 50th annual running of thf 500 ended on one of the most confused notes in the entire history of the race, with two pit crews racing madly for Victory Lane, and the unofficial second-place finishers loudly proclaiming they had won. According to the records of the United States Auto Club, Englishman Graham Hill finished first and Scotsman Jimmy Clark was second. Things may be different after 8 o'clock this morning, however, when an official protest can be registered.

Both English car builder Colin Chapman, who built Clark's STP Gas Treatment Special, and sponsor Andy Granatelli were most vociferous in proclaiming Clark was the real victor. So sure were they that their boy was leading that Chapman had the P-l (first place) sign flashed to Clark when to the USAC area to obtain information relative to enter ing a protest over the finish while Clark drove to Victory Lane.

He began to smoke immediately after the green light was flashed following the wreck of Johnny Boyd in the Prestone Special and finally went out after the 27th lap. The slow running loaded up his Ford engine, causing a heat condition to develop and he finally snapped off the back stretch, is in the lead.
