WIB SPALDING, 81

Word has reached us of the death this morning of Wilbur "Wib" Spalding of Granite City, Ill. A frequent racer in the midwest during his career, he scored a 30-lap USAC National Sprint Car win at Salem (Ind.) Speedway on July 4 of 1968. USAC extends its deepest sympathies to the Spalding family and his many friends.
