Hill is official Indy 500 winner after wreck-marred race
Graham Hill of London and Lotus disputed the result as Jim Clark’s team protested official standings from the 50th Indianapolis 500. A massive first-turn pileup shortened the field. Clark led early and late, but Hill was declared winner with 17 cars starting and 4 more eliminated by crashes. The race featured a stand restart, costly mechanical issues, and a prize around $200,000 awaiting the winner.
