Car Owner May Withdraw If Reforms Not Made At Raceway
Andy Granatelli, STP head and longtime racer, says he will exit USAC racing in 1974 if speeds and safety measures are not tightened. He cites the Indianapolis 500 victory by Gordon Johncock and the tragedy of Armando Teran and Swede Savage, urging limits on fuel and new tank bladders to reduce fires. If reforms fail, Granatelli will not field an STP team at Indianapolis next year.
