AJ's car was legal, Dan's was not. Dan would push AJ so they could finish 1 & 2.
If the inspectors missed the illegalities in Dan's car he would take the win. As it turned out, pushing AJ was an insurance policy...
So Gurney dropped behind Foyt and pushed him through the pack and into the lead. Before they reached the finish line Gurney swooped around to grab the victory.
A strictly-by-the-book tech inspection disqualified Dan, giving AJ the win.
This sort of fun and easy going approach to racing reminds me of the Corvair in 1962 https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-scuderia-caribe-corvair-in-1962-has.html
