Don MacTavish, 26, driving a Comet, was killed in a four-car crash just 22 miles after the start of Saturday's rain-plagued race. In the. Daytona, Yarbrough put on a sudden burst of speed and charged past Charlie Glotz-bach to win one of the closest victories on a debris-strewn track.

The 33-y a -o 1 Columbia, S.C, veteran, turned in an average speed of 157.950 miles per hour the fastest 500-mile race ever run. The speed was remarkable in view of the fact that debris spewed on the track by blown engines brought yellow caution flags out five times, causing dramatic drops in the pace. Eight drivers led at one time or another during the furious competition. Donnie Allison paced 87 of the 200 laps, more than any other man, and was in charge until Yarbrough and Glotzbach came on to wage their fierce closing duel. Allison finished third and A.
