C. Sunday, August 31, 1980 5-ll elf Rene Arnoux to start Hoopaugh in Sedan By GERALD MARTIN Staff Writer DARLINGTON, S.C. Defending series champiHoopaugh of Charlotte, N.C., once again showed why he is the champ as he held off a torrid pack Saturday to win the International Sedan 150 at Darlington Raceway. Driving a sub-compact Oldsmobile, Hoopaugh scored a one car-length victory over Dean Combs' Datsun. Mickey York, Asheboro, N.C., finished a close third.

A tight finish was assured when a late caution period bunched the field for a two-lap sprint to the line in the 69-lap chase. Five cars were in contention at that point, but Nelson Gusler, who had led earlier, dropped off the pace as the white flag waved for the final lap. The race was slowed by three caution periods. Max Sneed of Black Mountain, N.C., was injured in the only serious crash, which occurred on the second lap. He was taken from the infield hospital to Wilson Clinic for x-rays of what Dr.

Al Wilson called "a badly bruised right Before the International Sedan race, the final 17 positions were determined for Monday's 31st Southern 500. Ronnie Thomas of Christiansburg, paced the final round with a speed of 149.658 miles per hour in a Chevrolet. Only 1.9 seconds separated pole winner Darrell Waltrip's qualifying time from that of the lastplace qualifier, Roger 55- Hamby. The Grand National drivers will be idle today, as the track will be closed. Monday's 500 begins at noon.

A crowd of 16,000 saw the veteran trucker de dominate the 197-lap event and finish 34 seconds ahead of second-place Mike Adams of Seneca, S.C., who had won three of the four previous truck races. Montgomery, who led laps of the race, collected first-prize money of $16,885.

Adams won $6,274. Charlie Baker of New Oxford, who won the pole position in qualifying Wednesday, finished third, one lap behind the winner. Tom Chaney of Ventura, was fourth and Jack Schreffler of Belvidere, N.J., was fifth. Unser has formula for Ontario chase ONTARIO, Calif. (AP) Bobby Unser knows exactly what it's going to take to win the 11th California 500 today at Ontario Motor Speedway.

The 46-year-old "Albuquerque Cowboy" has won this third jewel in championship racing's triple crown three times, including last year. "If a guy can last here and be quick, he can be double Unser said. "This track is SO quick that it's very hard on race cars. "To run 500 miles here at top speed is real tough.

Raleigh, N.c. 27602 It takes patience to DARLINGTON, S.C. Junior Johnson says you have to grow up before you can be a consistent threat at Darlington Raceway. Youngsters, even the good ones in good cars, he says, have a lot to learn about this legend maker and hero breaker. According to Johnson, the former hard charger from Ingle Hollow, N.C., young winners such as Neil Bonnett, Darrell Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt will make their mark at Darlington, but at this oldest and most challenging of super speedways, they're still not a match for the veterans.

Seems a contradiction, since Waltrip has twice won the Rebel 500, but not so says the mountain man. Johnson notes that Waltrip could have won several other races here, but he was too anxious and made mistakes that eliminated him. "He'll get smarter, they all will," Johnson said, "and they won't make those mistakes. Time will perfect them. That's the way it was with the older drivers when they started out, wild and aggressive, but they changed.

They got smarter and more Equipment is the difference between the drivers of Johnson's day and the drivers of today. When Johnson raced in the fifties and sixties, experimentation brought hit-and-miss success or failure, whereas today's drivers buckle up into precision-built, ready-to-race cars. The bugs have long been worked out. Rarely does a top team enter a race playing catch-up, although it happened just this week to the Petty team, which experienced engine problems in practice and qualifying. "In most cases," Johnson said, "winning today is a combination of a good car and crew.

You can take a lot of lesser-known drivers and put them in a good car, and in two, three races he will be a challenger. "Except at Darlington. Here, the driver makes the difference." Johnson was one of the best in his day, but he won only once at Darlington. He was involved in a lot of wrecks here and admits he never learned the patience it takes to best this track. "I ran the same way all through my career (flat out).

And I was just 34 years old when I retired. So I still had a lot of wildness left in me."

Track 866-9950 Home 866-4325 Promoter 564-4385 Racing By Gerald Martin race Darlington mobiles and Chevrolets, is a four time winner of the Southern 500. Another veteran, Bobby Allison, is a four-time Darlington winner. But the big name at Darlington Raceway is grandpa David Pearson, a 10-time winner with three Southern 500 triumphs and seven Rebels." "David drives this track the best of anybody out there," Johnson said. "He's so smooth, and he keeps his nose clean until the end of the race. Then he goes racing.

Then, if he has to, he takes the gamble. "But he waits. He is awful during the first part of the race. Dale or Darrell can run with anybody, but they'll get in a tight place and go ahead and take a chance. Sometimes they get away with it, but sometimes they get caught between a rock and a hard place." Johnson loved to race here because he considered Darlington the supreme challenge in stock car racing.

But just as he loved it, others hated it, and some still do. "This place has spooked a lot of good drivers. It always has and still does. There are some who would just as soon stay home this weekend. You're running 150 miles an hour today on a track built in 1949 to handle speeds of a 100.

"I can remember just mentioning the word 'Darlington" to Bobby Isaac and it would scare him to death." Yarborough, perhaps more so than any other veteran, is a fitting example of patience and perseverance among veteran drivers. As a youngster here, he sailed over the wall, only to climb out, reach for a pocketcomb and rake his ducktails into place. Time and again he left his tattoo on Darlington's walls, only to come back again and bury his foot in the carburetor. "But he has changed," Johnson said. "He works traffic, sets up his passes and doesn't run over things like he used to do.

"He grew up. He got smarter. After all, as a competitor, you get tired of getting beat and you adjust to what you have to do to win. Cale has done that. Time has perfected him." And so it will be, says Junior, for today's hotrodding new breed.

They'll be consistent threats elsewhere and win their share, and perhaps they'll sneak in a win or two at Darlington. "But they won't dominate here for a long time," he said. "This is an unforgiving place and it takes a while to learn that."
