I saw the wreck. When I saw the roll cage collapsed there was no doubt.
Rollies wreck in the primary was a freak thing on the front stretch. Looked like he was okay then the car hooked and went over.
I too was pulling big time for Sheldon Kinser. I knew he was on his way to stardom after this race.
This was also the day of the big announcement. No rear engined sprint cars in 1974 and beyond. Forget Pancho, Lee or Rollie. This received the biggest cheer of the day.
