Buddy Baker, driving an orange
’71 Dodge, staved-off repeated
attacks by A. J. Foyt and Rich
ard Petty to win the Texas 500
held at Texas World Speedway
Sunday.
Baker nosed out Foyt for the
win with Petty right on his tail
before an estimated crowd of 33,-
500 race fans.
Although it was Baker who
took the checkered flag, Petty
was the victor also in the Win
ston Cup Grand National Cham
pionship for drivers.
Based on finishes in previous
races, Petty needed only to com
plete 195 laps at the Speedway to
outdistance his closest rival, Bob
by Allison. This win makes Petty
the only four-time winner in
Grand National history.
Foyt sat on the pole position
in the 500 with the fastest quali
fying speed of 170.273. Baker
was second in the line up with a
controversial time trial and a
speed of 170.100. Petty and Alli
son filled out the second row with
Herschel McGriff. and Coo Coo
Marlin in the third row.
When the green flag dropped
it was evident that it would be a
close battle between Baker, Foyt
and Petty.
Foyt took the first lap lead
with Petty, Baker and Allison
close behind. Petty squeezed by
Foyt for the second lap and Bak
er jumped into the lead on lap
three. From then on, Baker dom
inated the race while still dicing
with both Foyt and Petty. Baker
led for 135 laps out of 250.
Early in the race Foyt’s ’71
Mercury developed handling prob
lems as did Allison’s Chevy. The
Woods Brothers pit crew was able
to cure Foyt’s problems but Alli
son slowly dropped to finish
fourth, one lap back.
With Foyt’s Mercury temporar
ily out of the picture, Baker and
Petty were nose-to-tail for some
very quick laps. Under the cool
and overcast skys, Petty turned
several laps over 170 mph.
The quickness of the Woods
Brothers pit crew put Foyt back
in the race with speedy repair and
refueling. The Petty crew also
had the edge over Baker who was
often last out of the pits during
his 11 pit stops.
The caution flag came out for
one of its five appearances and
gave Foyt a chance to make up
lost ground. Under the caution,
several of the race leaders pitted
and took on fuel and tires.
With 30 laps to go. Petty
squeezed by Baker and attempted
to stretch a quick lead. Running
flat out, Petty’s ’71 Dodge heated
up its tires and the handling de
creased, giving Baker and Foyt
a chance to catch up.
Both Baker and Foyt were
quickly around Petty’s slowing
Dodge and running full-bore for
the checkered flag.
As the finish neared, it was
Baker in the lead with Foyt try
ing to jump into the lead at any
opportunity. Petty had been put
ting up a fight against his wild
handling Dodge and was about
two car-lengths behind.
On the final lap, Foyt tried to
sneak past Baker’s wide racer,
but with no luck. Coming out of
turn four and coming down the
stretch, Foyt pulled within a nose
of Baker and narrowly lost the
checkered flag to Baker by two
feet.

LUBBOCK, Tex. _ Texas
Tech Coach Jim Carlen said Mon
day Baylor quarterback Neal Jef
frey is similar to New York Jet
quarterback Joe Namath in his
college days.
Carlen also announced that he
was elevating three freshmen to
the varsity squad.
“Jeffrey reminds me of Nam
ath and George Mira,” said Car
len who faced those two during
his days as an assistant coach at
Georgia Tech.
“He has a quick release and
for that reason you can’t get to
him,” Carlen added about the
Bruin signal caller.
Tech meets Baylor in Waco
Saturday afternoon in a South
west Conference football game.
Carlen said Baylor wide re
ceiver Charles Dancer would be
the best Tech has faced this year.
“He (Dancer) reminds me of
the SMU boy Kenny Harrison
but he has more experience,” said
Carlen. “We’ll have a hard time
with Jeffrey, Dancer and wing-
back Brian Kilgore.”
Elevated to varsity status after
helping lead Tech’s freshman
squad to an undefeated record
were split end Willie Kent, tail
back Rufus Myers, and fullback
Angel Berlingeri.
Carlen said starting defensive
tackle Tim Schaffner will be lost
for the season. He underwent
knee surgery Sunday.
