DAVID COOKE WINS INDIANAPOLIS!

Warren Rodgers started from pole position at the brickyard, but fell victim to the close racing fairly early. At the front it was David Cooke, Don Warren, Marc Breuning battling closely for the lead, while Bill Smithem spent the entire race working his way back from an early incident on lap 3.

Breuning, running without a spotter working, crashed on 86, almost taking Smithem with him. The dash for the cash at the end saw Cooke, Smithem, Charles Harris and Bill Colley fighting for the win. Although they touched as a result of a chain reaction in sight of the line, Cooke won by as 0.021 margin over Smithem, with Harris in 3rd and Colley in 4th, all within 0.5 of a second! Ian Wilson rounded out the top five despite a last lap crash.
