Jones Wins Toughest Trans Am Race Amid Tragedy Controversy
Parnelli Jones, 35, of Torrance, Calif., won the four hour Wolverine Trans American Sedan Race at Michigan International Speedway after officials rechecked charts and credited him for laps lost during the event that began after a severe storm. Durward Fletcher, a 43-year-old Lansing man, was killed when a car crashed into spectators near turn 11. Donohue won earlier but Jones ultimately took the victory with a $5,000 purse.
