(AP)-For- ly-four drivers shoot for the largest purse in stock car racing history, upwards of $117,000, herg Sunday in a (iOO-mile high speed marathon at Char I 11 Motor Speedway. The winner, if he does halfway decently in lap money, will take home about $30,000. That, loo, will lie the biggest payoff for a driver in the 15-year history of the sport down South. Every big name driver on the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) late model circuit has a scat in one of the finely tuned strictly stock autos.

They will perform before a crowd expected by speedway officials to reach 65,000 by the 12:30 p.m. (EST) start. The speedway is a asphalt layout with its turns banked degrees.

Johnson apparently didn't know that the pole position for races there customarily belongs to "Fireball" Roberts or David Pearson. ROBERTS AND Pearson have set the fastest qualifying time in six previous Charlotte races-three World 600s and three National 500s.

Roberts has won the No. 1 spot on four occasions and Pearson twice--for the two long distance events in 1961. CHARLOTTE'S race today may not go to the swifl- esl. and if that's even the best place to look. The Chevrolets are undoubtedly the fastest cars on the track--for so long.

Then the Fords and Plymouths take over. However, if anybody can build a Chevrolet that's capable of going the full route, Smokey Yunick can do it. And his driver, Banjo Matthews, is a proven non-slouch once the flag drops. At any rate, the Chevys have a chance today to prove their worth in the long-distance runs. Even Johnson might do it--if he could ever learn to drive nine-tenths some of the time instead of ten-tenths all of the time.

THE DIXIE 400, coming up at Atlanta International Raceway June 16, is rumored to be the "swan song" for Chevrolet. The word is that no more parts will be available for the 427 engine, which Ray Fox called "the hottest ever built for a stock car after the Dixie 400. Fox builds Johnson's Chevy which will start in front today at CMS. BENSON FORD, vice-president of the Ford Motor has defined his company's stand in regard to auto racing. Speaking at Indianapolis Friday, Ford, his a i point of reference being the V-8 engine developed for use there in the Lotus car, said: "Win or lose, we will continue to test our products in competitive performance events.

We expect make further improvements in our Indianapolis engines as a result of what we learn tomorrow and, hopefully, on Memorial Day, and we plan to make a limited number of these engines available for other competitive events. "OUR AUTOMOTIVE engineers don't go to races like the one here at Indianapolis because they to see cars whiz around the track. They go to see for themselves how their products--and those of their competitors--perform in a carefully supervised event which amounts to an accelerated test program. In fact, continuous running for 500 miles or more at speeds of up to 160 miles an hour, could be the equivalent of up to 100,000 miles of average customer use. "IN SHORT, a 500-mile race is far more than a test of speed.

It's a test of how a car handles and how it stands up to punishment. It's a way we have of learning about reliability and durability, and about the huntlrrcls of other things that go into i the driver control an automobile more safely and "This i.s why Knrrl piifficipittcs in pci'lornuuice events, and why we will continue lo do District 3 NCAA Playoff Set Thursday GASTONIA, N.C.

The first group out, a pair of amateurs, finished only nine holes.

None of the leaders even made the first tee. Play was stopped once for more than an liour, resumed when the rain subsided, but lightning stopped the action after 45 more minutes. Tony Lema of San Leandro, the leader after two rounds with 6-under-par 134, was in the day's last threesome and never left the locker room. Tournament officials scheduled iS holes for Sunday with players off on the first and 10th hole at 7 a.m. The final round was set for 11:45 a.m.

However, the prospect was less than promising with more foul weather forecast. Rainouts left four players still ninched two strokes behind Lema at 136--Harold Kneece of Aiken, S.C.; Tommy Aaron of Gainesville, George Knudson of Toronto, and. Jerry Edwards of Fort Worth. None teed off Saturday. Bruce Crampton of Sydney, Australia, and Jack McGowan of Largo, rested on their 137, and Fred Hawkins of El Paso, and Bill Collins of Grosinger, held a 138.

Other (rack-side observers say Ihe jackpot just as easily go to young Richard Petty, ace of the Lee Petty Plymouth learn. The 25-year-old Petty has won seven races Ihis year, including (wo 250-milers, and leads (he NASCAR i championship race.
