7.5 points between 1st and 2nd! That is CLOSE.

Some neat facts about this season:
Neil Castles won 2 races and won the title; he did neither in Cup.
Jimmy Vaughan was the only person to run all 15 races.
Baxter Price had 3 top-5s and 11 top-10s en route to 4th in points; he
has the Cup record for most starts without a top-10.
Bobby Allison and Bobby Isaac combined to win 8 races.
Junie Donlavey cars had 2 wins and a 2nd in 3 races, which is more wins
than his Cup team had.
Wayne Andrews ran the full season here whilst also running the Grand
American Division, where he'd win the title.
Three people named "Childress" ran the series!

The inaugural Grand National East championship fight comes down to the
last race of the season. Neil Castles' runner-up finish in the race was
enough to pip third-place finisher Elmo Langley for the championship by
only seven and a half points. Jimmy Vaughn finished third in the
standings, almost certainly because as Alex noted he ran all the races
when no one else did.

Staring at two different news article printouts recapping this race and
they differ on the lap of when pretty much every major occurrence in the
race took place. Fun. And a third archived newspaper article online
features yet another set of differing lap counts and even number of
caution flags. The only things they seem to agree on is that Baxter
Price was involved in an accident with David Pearson and Jim Paschal,
but got his car repaired and was running at the end to score a top ten
finish, though he was many laps down; and that second place finisher
Neil Castles was a lap down at the finish instead.

Beyond that, good luck.
