Presumably: be will bag around $50,000. i The experts agreed Parsons would have won the race even if it had gone the scheduled 500 mi les. He started under; a handicap because a slight crack was discov ered in the cylinder block of his car. Parsons made only one stop of a minute, and 34 seconds at 262 miles to replenish his fuel and change tires. Rose also had only one stop. His car was threatened by fire when a spark from the ex- naust ignuea gasoline a mechanic was pouring into the jtank. clouds, of chemical fire extinguish er over the car and tender it, but mere was no serious damage. The car did not catch fire, but the mecnamcs pants didi He lumped over the low retaining wall and by the time he reached the other side he Was in his under shorts. There is little doubt that Par sons triumph was deserving. He finished second in last year's 500 mile race and went on from there to win the National AAA driving championship. Today's! venture was omy ms second start at the speed way. - It was the second time that rain stopped the race before the 500 mile distance had been completed. In 1926 Frank Lockhart was in first place when rain caused the event to be stopped at 400 miles. The Cummins Diesel Special, on ly oil burner and only care with more wan lour cylinders in tne race, went out after 130 miles. A sheared shaft on the Supercharger stopped the dieseL The mishap halted a great ride being given it by Jimmy Jackson oz Desert Hot Springs, Calif. Starting well back in the field, Jackson moved up steadily and was gaining on the leaders when he went out. It was the first diesel to run at the speedway since 1934. MEDLEY WAS THERE Tom Medley, ' former Salem high school athlete hand now a photographer operating out of Hollywood, Ca was- official pho to for the "Hot RocT and -Motor Bop on Chin, ' Kisses Greet Champ Parsons INDIANAPOLIS. May SO-CffV- W Inning the 500-mile auto race1 at 348 miles was no bargain for Johnny Parsons today. The people who mattered most to the newest speedway champion got to Victory Lane after he aid, delayed by rain and the unexpected . end of the race. The rainy victory Whoop- Tee-Do got off . to a bad start Guards trying to fight back the crowd caught the champ across the chin as he drove bis winning car into the enclosure. The greet- ers, the newsmen and the photo graphers swarmed over the yellow car. Somebody tried td give him a drink of milk, and he shoved it away impatiently. The 31-year-old Van Nuys, Calif., racer fidgeted, looking for.ius pretty wife. The first likely prospect for a kiss was Harry Stephens, chief mechanic for Parsons Wynn Fric tion Proof Special. He got it. Then Barbara Stanwyck, the of ficial champion - greeter, arrived after a sprint through the car pits. That brought the first smile from Parsons. The 1949 champion of American Automobile association racing fell to the job of accepting Stanwyck's greetings happily. "I told you we'd do it" chanted the film star, still heavily made up for the scenes she d been mak ing for a racing movie with Clark Gable. She left his oil-splattered face well smeared with lipstick. At last, the champ's willowy, brown-eyed wife, Lila, 22, arrived from a grandstand. "I think he's wonderful, she caroled, "I hadn t expected him to win. I was hopin', I was hoping though."
