1966 Indy 500-Final 55 Laps (Closed Circuit Telecast)

On its 50th anniversary, here are the final 55 laps from the 1966 Indy 500 closed circuit telecast. The original TV commentary is not present on the kinescope copy I have so as with my earlier upload that showed the second start of the race, I have synched the radio broadcast with Sid Collins and company to the picture as best I can. We pick up the action at approximately Lap 145 with Lloyd Ruby in the lead. Ruby would go out of the race with an oil leak and Jackie Stewart, in his first 500 seemed like he was on his way to an easy victory when his car broke down with ten laps remaining. That allowed another Grand Prix legend, Graham Hill, also in his first Indy to win the race with defending champion Jim Clark finishing second. You will notice that as Hill arrives in Victory Lane, Clark's STP team headed by Colin Chapman is arguing vigorously with USAC officials insisting that the scoring was in error and that Clark was the winner. Clark's car is seen approaching Victory Lane with the STP team trying to force their way in but eventually this doesn't happen (and no mention is made of this on the radio broadcast though they were aware Chapman wanted to protest). Scoring ultimately proved Hill was indeed the winner. You will also get a chance to see after the race a replay of the start-line accident that took out 11 cars as the green flag fell. Unfortunately the live part of that is not present on my kinescope copy or else I would have included that. This is so far the only version of any of the closed circuit broadcasts of 1964-1970 to surface. Starting in 1971, ABC would begin its same day prime-time coverage with live telecasts beginning in 1986.
