...Motion Picture and Television Relief Fund, and stars of all styles turned out to draw the crowds. Dan Gurney and Poncho Gonzalez sprinted into the lead, lost it, and then regained it by cutting up-and across the infield-thoroughly disqualifying themselves. Second behind Smothers and his partner Bobby Unser came Astronaut Pete Conrad and Mario Andretti. Despite a sprained ankle, Paul Newman leadfooted it out of the pits so furiously that he tore up his car's transmission. But the whole race was so casual that for once Parnelli Jones, Newman's co-driver, did not seem...
Parnelli Jones is 35, and married to a beautiful young thing who goes to races with him. He won the Indianapolis 500 in 1963, and he owns the car that Al Unser put on the pole this year. He is a fairly wealthy man now, and he races only when and where he wants to. Jones is still probably one of the ten fastest drivers in the world, despite his partial retirement.

...racing engines that two thirds of this year's qualifiers are using. When he was first awarded the franchise last fall a lot of jokes were going around about how the next Memorial Day would see 32 engine failures at Indianapolis. They may not tell those jokes around Al Unser's pit anymore. but I'm sure George Bignotti, the chief mechanic isn't too worried about Unser's Ford self-destructing. Still, you can be quite sure that there are no stronger Fords in the field than Foyt's. Since 1967, the year that he won the last...
