Dave MacDonald
of El Monte, California
grins broadly after qualifying Mickey Thompson's Sears-Allstate
Special in the middle of the 5th row (14th) for the 500 mile Memorial
Day classic at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. MacDonald's four lap
average was 151.464 mph.
The car
which is powered by the new Ford racing engine is the first
streamliner ever to qualify at the speedway.
Mickey's second
car was driven by Eddie Johnson who qualified at 152.90 mph putting
him in the 24th starting position, he
would go out on the 6th lap due to a fuel pump problem which gave
him a 26th finish position.
This was
a bad year for Mickey Thompson as well as the Indy 500, There was a
bad crash and Dave MacDonald was killed on the start of the first lap. |
