    another great race!

    1961 was my second 500. i though nothing could top the great
    duel between ward an ratham in 1960, but when foyt had to pit late for fuel the was bedlam! it look like sacks would get his win. then he pits for tires with 3 laps to go! i always though
    eddie should have stayed out. great day ,great race!great duel with sacks an foyt.
