(AP)-Tiny Bobby Isaac pushed his tomato-red Dodge Daytona at 159.277 miles an hour yesterday to capture the pole position for Sunday's $193,080 World 600 stock car race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The 34-year-old Catawba, N.C. driver was the last of 20 qualifiers to test the IVi-mile track and he knocked Dodge teammate Bobby Allison of Hueytown, off the pole. Allison did a lap at 158.744 to give Dodge the year's hottest car command of the front row for Sunday's race, the longest stock event in the world. Fred Lorenzen made a strong bid in his return to racing, pushing a Dodge at 157.890 to place sixth among Wednesday's 12 qualifiers.

He will start in the third row, beside the year's top money winner, Pete Hamilton of Dedham, who has $81,590 by winning at Daytona and Talladega in his Plymouth. It was Lorenzen's first start since his retirement three years ago. Now 34, the handsome Elmhurst, 111., bachelor is a Dodge boy after his "first career" accounted for a stack of honors in Fords. Cale Yarborough did 158.436 in his smashed in Mercury Cyclone, the third quickest sprint on a hot, 80-degree afternoon. The Timmonsville, S.

star struck the wall in a morning practice run and qualified with both fenders on the right side showing deep dents. Yarborough still holds the Charlotte Motor Speedway qualifying record with a 162 -162 clocking prior to last year's National 500. Sitting beside Yarborough for the start of Sunday's 400-lapper will be David Pearson of Spartanburg, S. who clocked 158.436 in a Ford. Charlie Glotzbach's 157.599 in another Dodge earned him the inside spot on the fourth row of the two abreast lineup.

OLD CHIYAS 'a HAIG SCOTCH RFfifll Allison's younger brother, Donnie, failed in his bid to take three straight poles for the World 600. He zipped around at 157.228 in a Ford and settled for the fifth row beside Dodge man Buddy Baker of Charlotte. Baker ruined his Dodge Daytona in a Tuesday practice run when a blown engine spit oil on the rear tires and caused the 6-foot-5 driver to go into a furious spin.

"We're trying to be consistent in our lap times," McCluskey said. "That's the secret of driving this race." McCluskey, who has driven in eight Memorial Day 500-mile races but never has finished well, qualified his car in the second row in last Saturday's first round of qualifying. His four-lap speed was 169.231 m.p.h.
