Memorial Day Indy 500: McLarens Lead Front Row
Veteran racers acknowledge the McLarens hold a larger edge than Jones did in 1967 as the 55th Indy 500 field shapes up. Revson took pole at 178.696 mph, Donohue 177.087, Unser 175.816. Jones in 1967 led early before a bearing failure. Granatelli blames sandbagging chatter, and turbine limits have narrowed turbine engine play since.
