In winning his first "500" championship, the two-time national driving king from Nazareth, collected a record $205,727.06 as a first-place plum. EVERYONE in the 33-car field joined in the record payment act as the total prize of $309,627.57 also established a money record for the world's richest automobile race. The jump in money carried all the way to the bottom where Bruce Walkup of Downey, was awarded $11,353.03 for last place and he didn't even complete a lap in the Memorial Day Classic.

The record Speedway melon was broken down to $614,147 from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, from accessory prizes and from the Citizens Speedway Committee. Mario's biggest chunk was $116,404.46 from the Speedway with accessory firms adding $71,600 and he also received $17,722.60 from the speedway committee.

Nine drivers failed to make an appearance, headed by Dan Gurney who passed up a chance for a $67,732.04 collection as second-place man. Both he and New Zealand's Denis Hulme are in Canada for a Can-Am race.
