Luyendyk declared True Value 500K winner after review
After a night review USAC corrected a scoring error that had initially crowned A J Foyt with Billy Boat finishing first and Luyendyk third. Luyendyk’s team protested, laps were miscounted due to pit stop timing, and the revised results put Luyendyk in front for the last 19 laps with Boat and Hamilton moved to second and third.
