"They were trying to get me to slow down," McCluskey said. "But when I tried it, the car didn't feel as comfortable. We set the chassis up to run fast and when I backed off, it began to push in the corners. So I picked it up again." "I'd have liked to have shook my first at him when he wouldn't slow down with a lead as big as he had," Nelson said with a laugh. "But when he came in on his next pit stop and explained it to he, I went along with him. Everything's all forgiven now anyway." THERE NEVER was any question that McCluskey would win as long as his car stayed together. Not even the heralded Petty, stock car racing's all-time leader in race * ORDER OF FINISH 1, Roger McCluskey, Plymouth Superbird, 200 laps; 2, Butch Hartman, Dodge, 196; 3, Verlin Eaker, Dodge, 194; 4, Dave Marcis, Matador, 194; 5, Cecil Gordon, Mercury, 1A92; 6, Chuck McWilliams, Plymouth, 189; 7, Jim Tobin, Dodge, 185; 8, Paul Feldner, Dodge, 184; 9, Bob Wente, Ford, 183; 10, Tiny Lund, Chevelle, 179. 11, Sal Tovella, Plymouth Superbird, 477; 12, Rob Robbins, Ford, 176; 13, Bay Darnell, Dodge, 175; 14, Gary Raymond, Chevrolet, 175; 15, Jigger Sirois, Mustang, 169; 16, Ray Bolander, Chevrolet, 162; 17, Joe Booher, Dodge, 158; 18, Earle Canavan, Plymouth, 155; 19, Rch Oertel, Ford, 146; 20, Jim Hurtubise, Chevelle, 132. 21, Ramo Stott, Plymouth Superbird, 118; 22, Richard Petty, Plymouth, 102; 23, Dave Whitcomb, Camaro, 94; 24, Dally Dallenbach, Plymouth Superbird, 92; 25, Al Loquasto, Dodge, 75; 26, Gary Bettenhausen, Dodge, 48; 27, AI Unser, Ford, 39; 28, Lam Blankneship, Dodge, 39; 29, Bud Schroyer, Dodge, 37; 30, George Wiltshire, Dodge, 34. 31, Harold Fair, Ford, 38; 32, Dick Simon, Dodge, 28; 33, Ken McEldowney, Javelin, 22; 34, Bill Shrey, Plymouth, 20; 35, Paul Sizemore, Plymouth, 10; 36, Leroy Austin, Plymouth, 1; 37, Ken Reiter, Ford, 1; 39, Steve Arndt, Chevelle, 0; 39, Dick Beinlich, Ford, 0; 40, H.

Petty tried as hard as he could. He led three times for a total of 13 laps when McCluskey pitted for fuel and tires. But his effort ended in a billow of smoke on the 102d lap when a blown tire cut an oil line and damaged the red and blue Plymouth's engine. "I was surprised when Petty jumped right in there behind me at the start,' McCluskey said. "When he went out, it took some of the pressure off me. He's tough. He really keeps you awake." PETTY, WHO qualified fourth fasteset and started from the outside of the second row, dod provide the 25,000 spectators their biggest thrills with some help from Hartman, Ramo Stott and Wally Dallenbach.
