Rutherford now in select company
Johnny Rutherford's Indianapolis 500 victory places him among three or more win drivers, joining AJ Foyt with four and Al Unser, Lews Meyer, Mauri Rose, and Wilbur Shaw with three each. The race saw Mears finish fifth after leading earlier, with Andretti failing due to engine failure and Unser sidelined by ignition coil issues. Bettenhausen rose from 32nd to third, in a race marked by last-row heroics and Rutherford's modest triumph.
