Seger PE ee eS ' Double Fatality Mars Indianapolis Classic INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Two outstanding drivers died Satur-' day in a flaming pileup that marred the 48th Indianapolis 500. The first closed-circuit tele- cast of the event showed vet- eran Eddie Sachs plowing into . the side of rookie Dave Mac- Donald's car, causing an ex- plosion that killed them both. A, J. Foyt Jr., driving a.con- ventional, front - engine Offen- hauser, won $153,650 of the total prize money of $506,625, richest in the history of the race, top- ping last year's total by $12,959. The crowd, probably a record last Saturday but not disclosed, was estimated from 260,000 up to an unlikely 350,000. A large proportion of it saw the great ball of fire that erupted on the second lap»near the upper end of the main straightaway. Many felt the heat and inhaled the smoke as) five other cars piled into the in- ferno and were blasted from the race. It was remarkable that the five other drivers were not se- ¢ riously hurt. It was almost in- credible that the bulk of the field, well around the track in pursuit of Scott Jimmy Clark, | | was able to get stopped. Sachs, 37, who had promised to retire if he won the race, was burned to death before he could be. extricated from his car. MacDonald, 26, an: expert sports-car racer, died in hospital a short time later. The most serious casualty among the other drivers in- volved was Ronnie Duman, 32, with second and third-degree burns. The luckiest was Bobby Unser, 30, who drove straight through the fire without hitting anything and escaped with mi- nor burns, His brother, Jerry, was killed on the Speedway in a practice run in 1959. The hard-driving Foyt, three times national champion and the 1961 Memorial Day winner, gunned his supposedly obsoles- cent Sheraton-Thompson special into first place on the 55th lap, after the more glamorous new equipment had washed out, Roger Ward, twice winner of the event, made the best show- ing with one of the new rear-en- gine Fords, taking the $56,925 second money. He was bitterly disappointed, feeling he would have won if he hadn't had to make five pits stops three more than he planned and three more than Foyt needed.
