Box 307 Seward, Nebraska Monday, Sept. 25, 1972 The Telegram 11 Columbus, Nebraska Unser, Petty, Stewart winners of car races By BLOYS BRITT AP Auto Racing Writer The familiar names were back in the saddle in auto racing during the weekend, including millionaires Richard Petty, Bobby Unser and Jackie Stewart. And, though he get to victory circle, old-timer Joe Leonard won his second consecutive United States Auto Club driving championship. Unser, the fastest driver on a closed course, won the Trenton 300 for Indianpolis- type championship cars, Stewart captured the Canadian Grand Prix for the second straight year and Petty did what he has been doing for years.

He bided his time and knocked everybody off during the late stages to win a 262- mile stock car race at Martinsville, Va. 4 Stewart, the wee Scot who let the driving title slip through his hands this year to Emerson Fittipaldi, kept his Tvrrell-Ford in front for all but four laps of the Formula I race at Mosport Park, Ont. En route to his third Grand Prix triumph of the year, Stewart set a lap record of 1 minute, 16.1 seconds for the 2.45- mile Mosport circuit, for 116.328 miles per hour. It also was one of his better paydays, $25,000. New Yorker Pete Revson came in second in a McLaren, winning $15,000, while his McLaren teammate, Denis Hulme, came in third for 12 000 Petty, down by a lap at one time, kept his Plymouth in contention at Martinsville and, when Bobby Allison ran into trouble with 32 miles to go, roared into the lead and was never headed.

Chevrolet brushed against another car on the 445th lap, cutting a tire. His pit stop for a replacement cost him the lead and Petty rolled home free. Allison also was fined $500 for ignoring an official black flag while he was limping around on another flat. Third place went to David Pearson in a Mercury, fourth to Buddy Baker in a Dodge and fifth to Jimmy Hensley in a Ford. Unser beat Mark Donohue's Roger Penske McLaren to the finish line by a mere 14 seconds before 23,000 at Trenton.

Driving an Olsonite Eagle with which he has set speed records from coast to coast, Unser had a crackling speed for the 300- mile distance of 143.236 miles per hour. Leonard, driving the nite Special of ex-Indy winner Parnelli Jones, came in third and earned all the points he needed to capture the USAC driving title which could mean an additional $200,000 in endorsements, personal appearances and championship money.
