Jim Malloy, 36, left an $800-a-month Denver job four years ago to race cars and now starts the Indianapolis 500 from the inside of the fourth row. He earned a late boost when Dan Gurney’s team offered him No. 42 Eagle after Lee Roy Yarbrough’s crash, qualifying at 171.838 mph and improving to 173 mph in practice. Malloy, relatively unknown, once finished 22nd in 1968 and 11th in 1969, with last year’s ninth-fast qualifier ending in a wall crash for a last-place $13,677.48.
