EXPLOSIVE 500 1 a-- Richie Evans From Page ID The Indianapolis establishment stuck with the USAC. There were disqualifications, threats of boycotts and a rival race followed by a foul-up in qualifying procedures, court suits, myriad affidavits and summonses which carried to the very eve of the big race. "I've lost interest I don't give a damn whether I run one lap or 200," said four-time winner A.J. Foyt, reflecting the attitude of many drivers. Even Jackie Stewart, the three-time Formula One world driving champ, has become more outspoken.

Stewart will drive the pace car for today's race. He was at the Speedway much of the month doing commentary for ABC-TV and became angered at what he calls a "lack of regard for safety." "I realize I am speaking against my own fraternity when I say this, but there still is a tremendous degree of apathy toward safety in motor racing," Stewart said. "A.J. Foyt, a man whom I greatly respect, has been out there running with golf gloves on. Golf gloves! They wouldn't protect his hands for a minute in a And that's just a small example." Most of the racing fraternity senses that things have gone out of control, that today's running of the Memorial Day weekend classic is the end of an era.

After more than 30 years under the control of the Hulman family, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is for sale. The Hulman family reportedly is tired of the hassles, the lawsuits and the criticism of the purse of "just" $1 million in purse money. The impact of the myriad of rules changes since last year poses an unknown variable. Most of the field is comprised of entries from the rebel CART group, and this is that organization's first race under USAC rules. If the rules favor anyone, it may be the ageless Foyt.

He has won every USAC race this season, which prompted 1973 Indy winner Gordon Johncock to "USAC's rules are rigged so no one but Foyt can win." From Page ID the factors in the defection from USAC by Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART), comprising most of auto racing's big names, and in the month-long chaos that stretched from Gasoline Alley to federal court. When qualifications finally opened two weekends ago, the situation was, further muddied by charges that some teams were able to override the manifold restrictions and "cheat" their way into the lineup. The entrants who were given another chance on Saturday had claimed their cars were either victims 'of earlier inconsistent rule enforcement or were bumped from the original lineup by faster cars whose illegal tactics were undetected. USAC agreed to add the other cars to the field if they could match or exceed the slowest qualification speed among the original 33, an average of 183.908 mph by veteran Roger McCluskey. Vukovich earned his 11th start with an average of 187.042 in his Watson-Offenhauser.

Snider earned his 15th straight start with a 185.319 run in his Lightning-Of- fenhauser, even through he brushed his right tires against the wall near the end of his third lap. Besides Alsup, whose first two laps were over 189, the others who failed to qualify yesterday were Al Loquasto, Jerry Karl, Larry Cannon, John Martin and Dana Carter. The largest field in Indy history was 42 cars in 1933. Alsup. who was trying for his first Indy start, said the crash occurred when "the car suddenly bottomed out, like a spring had gone down.

"The rear end started hopping and the back slid out. I hit the brakes and the pedal went all the way to the floor nothing. I tried to pump them up, but by then I was gone." Alsup's Eagle-Offenhauser went out of control coming out of the first turn, He slid 560 feet, hit the wall, slid another 60 feet, hit the wall again, went another 300 feet and struck the wall for the' third time, did a complete spin while sliding another 360 feet and hit the wall again, losing all four wheels. The car skidded along the wall another 420 feet and came to rest in turn two. Only race in Upstate to Evans AP, Staff Rome's Ricjiie Evans won the only stock car race not fouled up by the weather in Upstate New York yesterday, as he brought his orange No.

61 car home in front at Shangri-La's 100-lap NASCAR race in Owego. On lap No. 52, polesitter Jerry Cook of Rome was first, Macedon's -Dave Nichols second and Evans third. But Evans, who won $1,400 in the double points modified sportsman race, passed both cars on the third turn and widened his lead over second-place finisher Nichols to 15 car lengths. Cook finished third, George Kent fourth (after he was forced to the back of the field by a crash on lap 27) and Doug Hewitt fifth.

Satch Worley of Rocky Va. was forced out by the 27th-lap crash. All other Upstate tracks were forced out of action by rain. 4 The scheduled 50-lap, double-point feature at Canandaigua Speedway, plus the regular programs at Lancaster Speedway and Holland Speedway were washed out due to heavy rains. Also washed out was practice and heat races for today's Port City 150 at Oswego.

Speedway. The 150-consists of. a 75-lap feature for modifiers and a 75-lap for supermodifieds. Oswego willr open its gates at 10 this morning, have warm-ups between 11:30 and, 1:30, then start heat races for the features at 2 p.m. If the program gets washed out again, the rain date is tomorrow.

WALTRIP AT THE END -The lead changed hands 30 times, but it was Darrell Waltrip ahead at the end of the Sun Drop 300 in Charlotte, N.C. John Aneerson was second, Rusty Wallace third and Dave Marcis fourth. Waltrip earned $13,260. ANOTHER POLE POSITION Driver Neil Bonnett will be behind the wheel of the 11th straight Woods Brothers car to earn the pole position at a NASCAR Grand event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Today's race will be the World 600, the longest race in the 30-race NASCAR circuit.

The purse is $363,000.
