Rose and Holland Not Teammates For This 500
Mauri Rose and Bill Holland, former Indianapolis 500 winners from Indiana and Pennsylvania, will be the sole ex-champions in the May 30 race. They are likely co favorites after qualifying as Novi Specials show speed but Rose and Holland will not be teammates, having split with Lou Moore over engine warming and pit strategy. Rose piloted the Howard Keck Special at 131.9 mph on the two and a half mile track, and posted a 25 mile fuel test at 128 mph average. Holland’s 500 mile speed record last year stood at 121.327 mph, a mark Rose’s car could threaten. Holland has not chased top speed in practice this year.
