Rufus Parnelli Jones, one time USAC campaigner, won the Kent 200 and clinched the TransAm title for Ford. Hard charging behind came Mark Donohue in the Sunoco Javelin, the man who had won the title for Chevrolet before - but he was 19 seconds to the back at flag-fall. Sam Posey's Autodynamics Dodge Challenger was a rousing third, a lap off pace, with Jones' team-mate George Follmer fourth nursing a sick motor.
