Description
Caption: CAMBRIDGE JUNCTION, Mich., July 4--JOHNCOCK HITS WALL--Gordon Johncock struggles to control his Indianapolis racer after plunging into the rail on the first turn of the 91st lap of today's 200 mile race here. Johncock had the lead for most of the race but with just nine laps to go, lost a wheel hub and hit the wall. He walked away from the wreck but missed his shot at the $16,000 first place money, at today's twin 200 races here.
