...abrasively opinionated, Granatelli's chief role at STP was that of promoter. He regularly lavished up to a quarter of the company's annual income on advertising, in which he and his wife Dolly played starring roles, and on sponsoring cars bearing the STP label and Day-Glo red colors in major auto races such as the Indianapolis 500. In ten years as president, he built STP sales from $9,000,000 a year to almost $100 million and expanded the line to include oil filters, engine-block heaters and anti-pollution devices.

Ben Steele, star of Carter's intercollegiate team, remained off the peak he reached winning EIS championships three weeks ago at Middlebury and finished third. Dodge finished fourth...
...giant in blue jeans with a LOVE patch sewn on his backside, a KEEP ON TRUCKIN' T shirt stretched across his chest, and a fuzzy tam-o'-shanter perched on his head. He is squeezing the hand of his girl friend, a teased blonde in a Day-Glo orange pantsuit and sequined glasses, carrying a suitcase-size black patent leather handbag and a bag of candy. They crunch along through the litter of wrappers and handbills toward the star attraction, the dazzling Muzi-Kart, a customized 1933 Willys...
