The penultimate round of 1968 would see a shock pole stater, although the U.S.A.C. star would be unable to prevent a dominant display by the eventual race winner. Qualifying had seen an excellent battle for pole between Lotus-Ford Cosworth and Matra-Ford Cosworth, decided by American racer Mario Andretti with a stunning late lap. Jackie Stewart would line-up alongside the debutante on the front row, while Graham Hill and Chris Amon shared the second row. News that the American Andretti had taken pole quickly spread among the fans, and a huge crowd gathered at the Glen in time for the start. The majority of fans would then enter delirium, as Andretti smoothly pulled away from the grid to lead into the first corner, although by the time the field returned, Stewart had slithered into first. The race would soon settle down behind the Scot, with Amon briefly running in third until a spin dumped him down the order. Andretti continued to threaten for the lead until a piece of bodywork partially fell off and forced the American into the pits, leaving him at the back of the field. Andretti would put together a swashbuckling display after his stop to slowly climb through the field, only to retire when his clutch failed. American hopes of a win were therefore left to Dan Gurney in fourth, who would then climb into third when Denny Hulme crashed out with a driveshaft failure. His hopes were dashed, however, when he picked up a puncture in the closing stages, having already recovered from a spin. That had left Stewart and Hill untroubled at the front of the field, with John Surtees promoted onto the podium. When the flag finally fell Stewart had a 24 second lead, having controlled the pace since the start of lap two, and would head to Mexico three points behind Championship leader Hill. The Englishman's second place meant that there would be a three way scrap for the title in the Mexican capital, with Hulme now six points away with nine left to fight for. Elsewhere, Surtees had cruised to third in the race for Honda, ahead of Gurney, Jo Siffert and Bruce McLaren as six cars made it to the chequered flag.
