At some stations, drivers who rose groggily at dawn to hunt for gas have had to queue up behind long lines of cars parked and locked by people who had left them there overnight.

In Los Angeles a male motorist deflated the tires of a car that cut into line ahead of him, then beat up a pregnant woman who climbed out of the car to protest...

The owner of Yarborough's car is Junior Johnson, one of the roughriding pioneers of the sport, and their sponsors are Busch beer and Citicorp. Campaigning a stock car today costs as much as $1.2 million a year. Yarborough is supported by a 17-man staff, including a pit crew of seven.
