[2][3][4] David Pearson defeated Benny Parsons by thirteen laps in front of forty-eight thousand people.

Buddy Arrington, Richie Panch, Dave Marcis, Lennie Pond, and Dean Dalton were involved.

Marcis and Pond would eventually go on to retire due to crash related problems.

This race stands as the second largest margin of victory in Cup history, falling just short of Ned Jarrett and his 14 lap differential in the 1965 Southern 500.

[2][3][4] Notable crew chiefs for this race were Tim Brewer, Jake Elder, Travis Carter, Harry Hyde, Dale Inman, and Bud Moore.
