Ford again, this time Parnelli Jones leading team-mate George Follmer over the line by 0,3 seconds. Donohue was third, but well off the pace over a minute behind the mighty Mustang duo. Swede Savage was in strong contention in his Gurney-entered Barracuda, but his engine blew on the 61st lap when in the lead. Gurney had quit the TransAm scene after a cut in Chrysler's budget.
