I'm not sure if he also won the second race. Maybe somebody has the the USAC yearbook from '68.

According to the record books Sessions won the 2nd 50. Mike Mosely won the 1st.

Well, I knew Sessions won one of them.:rolling I saw that website list that was posted. I don't remember Mosely being there, but I thought Andretti was driving the Watson car with Mosely's name on it. Maybe this is one of the mistakes on the list and Mario won the first race??????:headbang Of course, I could be wrong - I'm getting too Old to remember!!! I do remember the heat that day. It probably affected my memory (good excuse - Huh?)!!!
