Bobby Issac's fourth and final Grand National East win proves to be his
final high level NASCAR victory

Also the only Grand National East race at Lonesome Pine Speedway.

LPIR is a great short track here in SW Virginia. Reminds me of a
non-sloped version of North Wilks.

I'm just trying to figure out who he swapped the lead with 16 times.

There were 9 cautions.
Margin of victory - 5+ laps

Castles led 57 laps
Bobby Allison led 5 laps

Based on an incomplete leader rundown, only Isaac, Castles, Lund,
Paschal and Allison led laps. Allison and Paschal both broke while in
the lead. Lund and Isaac were the two that swapped the lead back and
forth the most.

Tiny Lund's crew crossthreaded some lugnuts during a pit stop and Lund
plummeted through the pack as a result of the unusual wheel issue,
eventually parking the car late when he could no longer stand to drive it.
