If lady luck smiles on Roger
McCluskey in the Acme Super
Saver 500 late model stock car
race at Pocono Raceway July
29, the event may well be known
as MecCluskey’s revenge. The
43-year old Tuscon, Ariz. driver
will be out to square accounts
with A.J. Foyt over the latter’s
upset victory in the Schaefer
500. Foyt slipped by McCluskey
to win the July 1 event when the
Arizonian, after leading the
final 25 laps of the 200-lap
contest, ran out of fuel 1, miles
from the finish line.
Although both driver’s entries
were received just recently, the
local wags are saying Pocono
couldn’t have planned a better
rematch if it had conceived the
idea months in advance.
McCluskey is the defending
late model stock car champion
at Pocono. He captured the pole
in last year’s Pennsylvania 500
with the record-breaking
average speed of 148.177 mph,
then went on to win the race
easily, dominating the field for
121 turns of the 200-lap contest.

Pennsylvania 500, but Pocono
fans remember his hard-driving
second-place finish in the 1971
inaugural event. No stranger to
stock car competition, the 38-
year old Texas speedster had
raced the big-engine cars since
1949. He has 28 lifetime USAC
stock car wins and the 1968
USAC stock car championship
to his credit.
Both drivers are known for
their versatility as well as their
virtuosity. Foyt boasts USAC
championships in the Dirt
Track, Stock, Sprint, and
National Championship
divisions. McCluskey won
USAC Sprint crowns in 1963 and
1966 and was the organization’s
Stock Car Champion in 1969 and
1970.
McCluskey was on his way to
an unprecedented third straight
Stock crown going into the final
race of 1971, the 500-miler at
Pocono, but a crash in the late
stages caused him to finish 19th
in the race, dropping him to
third in the final point stand-
ings. Roger finished second to
Butch Hartman in the 1972
standings, despite winning
three races to Hartman’s none.
When McCluskey captured
the Ontario 500 and the Pennsyl-
vania 500 last year, he became
the first man in USAC history
ever to score two 500-mile
victories in the same season.
The McCluskey-Foyt rivalry
intensified last Sunday in the
USAC Twin-200 races at
Cambridge Junction, Mich. In
the first event, the 200-mile Indy
car contest, McCluskey won his
fourth lifetime national
championship victory, finishing
24.7 seconds ahead of runner-up
Johnny Rutherford. Foyt
finished 13th in the champion-
ship match but came back to
win the 200-mile Stock car
event, crossing the line a mere
6.3 seconds ahead of second-
finisher McCluskey.
McCluskey will drive a 1972
Plymouth in the July 29 Pocono
event. Foyt is entered in a 1973
Chevrolet.
Practice begins at noon, July
27 for the Acme Super Saver 500
at Pocono. Time trials begin at
noon, July 28, following an early
morning practice session. The
40-car field will take the green
at 1:00 p.m. July 29.

The press is not only free, it is
powerful. That power is ours. It
is the proudest that man can en-
joy. It was not granted by mon-
archs; it was not gained for us
by aristocracies; but it sprang
from the people, and, with an
immortal instinct, it has always
worked for the people.
