INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (^ > )—A.
J. Foyt, never quitting in spite
of an apparently hopeless battle
against a fantastic aircraft en
gine, won the rain-delayed 500-
mile Memorial Day auto race
Wednesday for the third time.
Pamelli Jones, Torrance, Calif.,
apparently had the race locked up
when his STP-Pratt & Whitney
turbine car failed with only 7%
miles to go. The engine was run
ning when he limped into the
pits with a bearing failure.
Foyt set a race record of
151.207 miles per hour against
the 1965 mark of 150.686 by Jim
my Clark of Scotland.
Five cars piled up at the head
of the mainstretch just as the
Houston ace approached the
mainstretch and no other cars
completed the full 200 laps.
Foyt threaded his way through
the tangle and reached victory
circle by way of the pit apron.
The victory was all the sweeter
because Foyt Enterprises built
the winning Coyote Ford to
Foyt’s own specifications — and
because he had a miserable sea
son last year involving three
wrecks. He was one of the driv
ers knocked out in the 1966 first
lap pileup of 16 cars in the 500
last year.
He won previously in 1961 and
1964 and now has a three-for-10
mark at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway. Only Louis Meyer,
Mauri Rose and Wilbur Shaw,
before Foyt, had been three-time
winners.

Mexico racing family, was the
unofficial second in a Lola-Ford
with an English chassis, and Joe
Leonard, San Jose Calif., took
third as Foyt’s teammate in an
other Coyote Ford.
All positions except Foyt’s were
unofficial. The race was stopped
just as Foyt crossed the finish
line because of the smash up on
the mainstretch. Positions will
be awarded according to laps
completed at that time.
Denis Hulme of New Zealand
was fourth unofficially in a Ea
gle-Ford; Jim McElreath of Ar
lington, Tex., fifth in a Moore-
Ford, and Jones was placed sixth
in the turbine on the basis of laps
completed.
Chuck Hulse of Los Angeles
was seventh in a Lotus turbo
charged Offy; Art Pollard of
Medford, Ore., eighth in a Ger-
hardt turbo-charged Offy; Bob
by Unser, Al’s brother from Al
buquerque, ninth in an Eagle-
Ford, and Bob Veith of San Lor
enzo, Calif., tenth in a Gerhardt
turbo-charged Offy.
Jones had been running away
from the field Tuesday when the
race was halted at 45 miles be
cause of rain. He took up at the
same place in the single-file re
start Wednesday.
He surrendered the lead only
three times to Foyt, twice on the
two compulsory pit stops.
