Jeff Lopez, another a second-generation racer, had previously won four national event titles, but all of them had come in heads-up classes and none at Indy. Driving his COPO Camaro, Lopez stopped the manually shifted Cobra Jet Mustang of Charley Downing in the Stock final round. After an even start, Lopez crossed the stripe first by .009-second with a 9.395 on his 9.36 dial. Downing followed with a 10.383 on his 10.34 dial
