Are you referring to car #26, or car #29?

IIRC:
McQueen was due to partner Stewart in car #26, but did not take to the grid and are officially recorded as withdrawn.

Car #29 was entered under Solar Productions (the film company) and was driven by Herbert Linge and Jonathan Williams. The car was on pace, but lengthy pit stops to replace the film in the camera meant that it did not complete enough race distance to be classified.
