1961 Expanded results:

These times are taken off of the official time sheet. There is an addition error on the official times of Paul Winebarger, Bill Giese, Bill Walters and Lewis Rector. Jim Gendreau was given an official time even though he didn't finish. None of the addition errors caused a change of place. The next chart is the times printed in the paper, which I believe are more accurate than the official times. They seem to correspond to daily time sheets still in existence. Average speed of top chart is based on 575 miles. Average speed of lower chart is based on 540 miles, which is much closer to the actual miles traveled.
