In Canada it was Donohue again, Penske pit tactics playing a major part in the Sunoco team's victory. After an early pit stop Donohue was able to watch closely how the race developed. The Bud Moore Mustangs of George Follmer and Parnelli Jones were second and third, both making unscheduled stops for tires, Follmer had an accident and Jones a cut tire.
