Do not see Don Yenko listed as a driver..they usually list the back up drivers as well.But it doesn't mean that he positivley was not... Gulstrand and Bondurant were listed as the drivers

YOU MAY BE RIGHT, BUT I THINK THAT WHEN DON YENKO WENT WITH DICK HARRELL TO BUILD 22 , 427 CAMARO'S UNDER THE YENKO NAME IN APRIL 1967, INSTEAD OF THE DANA 427'S FROM THERE DEC. 1966 AD, WHICH REFLECTED THAT EACH DEALER WOULD SALE PARTS, AND CARS AT EITHER DEALERSHIP , THAT CHANGED THE LE MANS TEAM DEAL WHICH WAS IN JUNE 1967, ANYBODY THAT KNOW'S THE REAL STORY, PLEASE LET US ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, THANKS KASEY
