INDTANAPOLIS T-Pint-
sred Gordon Johncock won
the tragc, rain-shortened
5'0h Indianapolis 500-mile
race yesterday that cost one
crewman his life and sent
drver Swede Savage to a
hospital with critical in-
uries.
Johncock, a 38-year-old cam-
paigner who lives in nearby
Fraklin, Ind., brooght his or-
ange-colored Eagle-Offenhauser
across the fiaish line 30 seconds
ahead of Billy Vukovich as rain
pelted the 2%-mile Indianapolis
Motor Speedway.
The rain came on the 128th
lap and race officials flagged
the event to a halt five laps later.
It was the shortest race in
Indianapolis history.
The 18-year racing veteran,
never a big winner, covered the
332% miles in 2 hours, 5 min-
utes and 27.66 seconds for an
average speed of 159.014 miles
per hour.
When the purse of more than
$1 million is di'ided, the 150
pound, 5-foot-7 winner will pick
up in excess of $200,000.
Third place in the unofficial
standings went to 42-year-old

scarred veteran from Lebanon,
