It was run on June 19, 1960, at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina.

During the race, Don O'Dell's Pontiac crashed into the driver's door of Lenny Page's Chevy.

Lenny Page, who was lucky to survive the crash due to the safety systems at that time, was near death afterward, but reporter Chris Economaki rushed to the scene and aided Page with CPR until safety crews arrived.

Cars were allowed to run dirt track style screens to protect the radiators from debris, as officials were aware of the problem before the race started.

[3] Notable crew chiefs included Louis Clements, Bud Allman, Ray Fox, Shorty Johns, Bud Moore, Mario Rossi, Dale Swanson and Paul McDuffie.
