Foyt Learns From Indianapolis Win At Pocono Race
A J Foyt won the rain shortened 500 mile Pocono race after watching weather and gambling on the end. He led Dallenbach by a slim margin before the rain opened the track, while Dallenbach improved on Indianapolis where an engine failure cost him victory. Foyt pocketed 84000 of an estimated 400000 purse as a crowded 100000 plus spectators saw a dramatic finish amid delays and a rash of mechanical issues among leaders.
