The former winners represent eleven victories at the famous brickyard. Among those expected are two time winner Johnny Rutherford of Ft. Worth and fellow Texan A. J. Foyt of Houston, the only four time winner, Al and Bobby Unser of Albuquerque, New Mexico, each a two time winner and Gordon Johncock who is also defending national champion. Several new cars are expected to run here for the first time includ ing those of Al Unser, Gordon Johncock and Wally Dallenbaeh. Speeds are expected to be high and depending on the number of caution laps, there could be a new world record. The old record for two hundred miles was set here in October 1973 when Gary Bet- tenhausen averaged better than 181 miles per hour. Since then every race held here has averaged faster times but yellow caution flags have slowed the pace at the end. The American Parts 200 offers Texans a chance to see the Indy 500 cars and drivers in their home state. The race is referred to as the “Indy of the Southwest. ” Practice for the American Parts 200 begins on July 30 and will be followed by a live on stage concert in the speedway infield for over night campers. Time trials will begin at 11:00 a.m. July 31 with the 200 mile national championship event starting at 3:15 p.m. Tickets for the American Parts 200 are still available.
