Fearless Freddie Wins World 600 After Fuel Rescue
Fred Lorenzen nursed an out-of-gas Ford to win the World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in a record 132.417 mph, earning $26,250. Junior Johnson faded with a tire blowout, letting Lorenzen surge back in the final laps as Rex White and others chased the top prize. About 60,000 spectators saw a near-dry drizzle and a nonviolent, accident-free race. Lorenzen, from North Carolina now living in Elmhurst, IL, completed the feat after conserving fuel by trailing Johnson.
