Don Warren took the pole at the tricky triangle, with Danny Passmore alongside him. As always, Pocono delivered some very close racing and some yellows. Breuning took himself out of contention brushing the wall in turn 2. Stofer, Passmore, Warren, Smithem and Erter all remained in close proximity of one another.

A late yellow bunched all of it back up; Breuning got his lap down as the lucky dog, but for him it didn’t matter. The battle for the win was tight and close, with Stofer beating Erter to the line by 0.001 of a second. Warren managed to stay ahead of Passmore by 0.05 for third and Bill Smithem took fifth as Peterson and Breuning spun on the last turn, taking Wright with them.

Phil Peterson started from the pole, with Breuning alongside him on the front row. Breuning took the lead early on and stayed there. An early yellow dropped a few drivers a lap down, but it was pretty smooth sailing from there on out. Breuning took the checkered, his first Indy 100 win in the Lotus 49, with Don Warren saving fuel in 2nd place and Ian Wilson rounding out the podium; Mike Zakar was 4th and polesitter Peterson finished 5th.
