Beth Daly, wife of driver Derek Daly, could be seen toting a VCR camera around the garage area and pits Sunday recording the action. By JAN SHAFFER STAR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT Although Paul Goldsmith had an enviable record in six Indianapolis 500 appearances, his major racing love was with the stock cars. "I Just enjoyed them better." he says today. "One of the main reasons was that we were building stock cars for the manufacturer Chrysler." At Indy, though, his best performances were In a car that posted three straight top-five finishes yet didn't win. George Amick had driven the Norm Dernier Special to second behind Jimmy Bryan in 1958.

Goldsmith, involved in the first-lap crash that year In his rookie season, took the reins for 1959. He finished fifth, and came back In 1960 to finish third behind Jim Rathmann and Rodger Ward In what was to be his best Speedway finish. "When you're young, everybody dreams of going to Indy." he said. "I guess getting that third was my best. It was a good car, and I believe Jim Hurtublse drove It after me." In 1957.

In addition to driving stock cars and championship cars, he took up flying. He retired from racing after a stock-car race at Michigan in 1971. Before his retirement, however, he'd become involved at Griffith. Ind. Airport.

The car and Brayton's helmet bear the colors of blue, white, and perhaps the brightest pink ever seen on a car at Indy. For the record, the last pink car to appear at the Speedway was Emerson Fittipaldi's car In 1984 and Bob Swelkert has the distinction of driving the only pink-colored car to victory, having done so In 1955 In the John Zlnk Special.

"If I had won the race, I could honestly say that It was because I set my car up differently that allowed me to make two passes that I don't think very many people would have attempted." Of course, Rahal passed Cogan on the restart on Lap 199 and the rest is history. He may have gotten the 1982 monkey off his back, but there is a 1986 version.

Perhaps. "I think I drove a good race all day long I was pushing my car as hard as I could. That's my job. I try to always extend myself and that's my game plan."

THERE MAY be no Eagles entered at Indianapolis for the first time since 1966. but at least there is an Eagle designer on the premises. John Ward, a long-time designer for Dan Gurney who designed the 1986 Eagle which proved to be the last Eagle period, is currently working as an engineer for the Machinists Union team. Ward's presence has been an asset as driver Josele Garza has been competitive In both of this year's CART races at Long Beach and Phoenix.

THE 1979 rookie of the year. Howdy Holmes, is one more veteran driver at the Speedway without a ride. Holmes, who has four top 10 finishes in five races here and was a front row starter In 1984, says he has been offered a couple of rides, but Is searching "for the right ride." Holmes feels his best chance Cogan Continued From Page 17 as well have been "Mud" as he was greeted by resounding boos from the Speedway crowd. The story moved to 1986 and Cogan, now driving for Patrick Racing, totally astounded everyone by passing Mears and Rahal on the highest part of the groove in Turn Two for the lead on lap 186. Cogan accomplished this feat by practicing on that part of the track all month.

It was part of his game plan. "I like to run where I can pass and the trick Is to be able' to pass. So I was Just running the way that I thought was easiest to pass other people." he explained. "We weren't as quick on the motor situation as I wanted to be In. I had to make up for It and Indians Continued From Page 17 Varsho bounced a bad-hop single over Shines' head at first.

Fischer retired Stephenson, but Rafael Palmeiro launched his second homer of the year to make it 6-4. Wade Rowdon followed with a double, and when Qulnones singled him home, Fischer was done for the day. "He got a bad break, Stephenson would have been the third out of the Inning if not for the bad hop," said Sparks. "They started sitting on his changeup I think In the seventh.
