...surge of big money has made seven drivers millionaires, and even Neil Bonnett, who finished eighth in earnings last year, totted up $155,875 (which, as is customary, he had to share with the owner of his car).

To assure adequate distribution, the U.S. cannot permit stocks to fall below this rock-bottom level. Thus it can no longer dip into the stockpile which kept the U.S. rolling for two years. From now on, civilian tire needs must be supplied from new tire manufacture. Estimated needs for the last four months of this year...
Swelling synthetic rubber production lulled many a U.S. citizen into the pleasant belief that the rubber-tired nation had rolled safely past the crisis point (TIME, Oct. 18).
