title="Indianapolis Motor Speedway">Indianapolis Motor Speedway</a> in <a href="/wiki/Speedway,_Indiana" title="Speedway, Indiana">Speedway, Indiana</a> on Monday, May 30, 1966. The official program cover for the race celebrated both the 50th running of the race, and 150th anniversary of <a href="/wiki/Indiana" title="Indiana">Indiana</a> statehood. </p><p>Eleven of the 33 starters were eliminated in a first-lap accident right after receiving the green flag on the main stretch. Only <a href="/wiki/A._J._Foyt" title="A. J. Foyt">A. J. Foyt</a> was injured, hurting his hand scaling the catch fence trying to escape the wreck scene. Only seven cars, the fewest finishers ever, were still running by the end of the race.

Stewart parked the car, and after briefly attempting to push some ways, he walked back to the pits. Fellow first-time starter <a href="/wiki/Graham_Hill" title="Graham Hill">Graham Hill</a> inherited the lead and led a total of 10 laps to win, the first rookie winner since 1927. Despite parking his car, Stewart was voted the <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis_500_Rookie_of_the_Year" title="Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year">rookie of the year</a> over Hill, completing enough laps to finish in 6th place. </p><p><a href="/wiki/1965_Indianapolis_500" title="1965 Indianapolis 500">Defending</a> race winner <a href="/wiki/Jim_Clark" title="Jim Clark">Jim Clark</a> spun twice during the race, and finished second. A mild controversy developed at the conclusion of the race, as Clark's crew - and some observers - erroneously believed their car was the race winner over Hill. However, during post-race review, the scoring serials were settled later that evening, confirming Hill the race winner and Clark placing second.

The unofficial results at the conclusion of the race showed <a href="/wiki/Graham_Hill" title="Graham Hill">Graham Hill</a> winning by 41.13 seconds over Clark. The morning after the race, USAC released the official results, and the standings were unchanged. <a href="/wiki/Colin_Chapman" title="Colin Chapman">Colin Chapman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Andy_Granatelli" title="Andy Granatelli">Andy Granatelli</a>, the entrants of Clark's Lotus team, declined to file an official protest. A possible explanation given was that the Lotus crew did not see Hill pass by Clark during the aftermath of the second spin.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Race winner <a href="/wiki/Graham_Hill" title="Graham Hill">Graham Hill</a> admitted to having an "uneventful race", being "puzzled" and "surprised" to be the winner, while other unsatisfied competitors quipped that he had "never passed a car all day long."<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Radio_Network" title="Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network">IMS Radio Network</a>, which scored the race independently from the USAC officials, also came up with Hill as the first place car.<sup id="cite_ref-TOGA_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TOGA-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The apparent controversy died out quickly, and no official action was ever taken. Years later the subject is still mildly debated in racing circles. A theory emerged that scorers accidentally omitted one lap from <a href="/wiki/Jim_Clark" title="Jim Clark">Jim Clark</a>'s official tally. Therefore, he was effectively placed behind Hill at the finish. The car of <a href="/wiki/Al_Unser" title="Al Unser">Al Unser</a> was painted nearly identical to that of Clark's. The theory is that when Al Unser crashed out of the race on lap 161, scorers mistakenly thought it was Clark, and as Clark drove by in the immediate aftermath, they credited that lap to Unser by mistake.<sup id="cite_ref-TOGA_21-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TOGA-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another version of the theory suggests an opposite situation - one of Unser's laps was erroneously credited to Clark's tally early on, and when the scoring serials were compiled and settled later in the race, the extra lap was correctly deleted. Alongside the controversy between Hill and Clark, fourth place <a href="/wiki/Gordon_Johncock" title="Gordon Johncock">Gordon Johncock</a> is also theorized by some observers to have actually been the rightful winner of the race. Johncock completed the 500 miles in less elapsed time than Hill, Clark, and third place <a href="/wiki/Jim_McElreath" title="Jim McElreath">Jim McElreath</a>. However, Johncock had suffered minor damage during the first lap accident, and restarted the race in the pit lane due to the crew changing the nose cone. USAC officials did not score his first lap out of the pit lane, and he effectively ran all day carrying a one-lap penalty to the rest of the field.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Box_score">Box score</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1966_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Box score"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Finish </th> <th>Start </th> <th>No </th> <th>Name </th> <th>Chassis </th> <th>Engine </th> <th>Qual </th> <th>Tires </th> <th>Laps </th> <th>Status </th></tr> <tr> <th>1 </th> <td>15 </td> <td>24<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td> <td><span class="flagicon"><span class="mw-image-border" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom"><img alt="United Kingdom" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg/23px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png" decoding="async" width="23" height="12" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg/35px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg/46px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="600" /></a></span></span> <a href="/wiki/Graham_Hill" title="Graham Hill">Graham Hill</a> <b><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r981673959"><span class="legend-color mw-no-invert" style="background-color:orange;
