Lund won a pole position at the track in 1957 for a GN race.

Was wondering how Wendell Scott could have started a race so soon after
his serious injuries at Talladega. Could it be that Wendell Jr. started
this race ?

This was Wendell Scott, Jr.'s NASCAR debut, as noted above he was
filling in for his father after the Talladega wreck. His first race
ended early with a blown engine but Scott, Jr. would run two more GN
East races later in the season. His father Wendell, Sr. would also
return in the fall for one last Cup race before hanging up the helmet.

DNQs (12 total):
Richard D. Brown (1971 Chevrolet)
Richard Childress (1973 Chevrolet)
Bill Clemons (1973 AMC)
Frank Lamp (1973 Chevrolet)

WD:
Buck Baker (1972 Pontiac)
Buddy Baker (1973 Chevrolet)

Coming off his big World 600 win, car owner Nord Krauskopf reversed
course and would not allow Buddy Baker to run this GNE race as
originally planned. Krauskopf said he didn't want anything to happen to
Buddy before the next race at Dover. With that sudden decree, Buck Baker
pulled out of the event as well, saying that most of the fun was going
to be in getting to go head-to-head on the track with his son. He had
been scrambling to make repairs to his Firebird and knew that he'd be
going down to the wire trying to get his engine race-ready in time as
well. Both made good on their promises to the promoter, though, and made
the appearance at the track to sign autographs for the fans. Buck joked
that he had been offered a ride for the race anyway: the pace car.

Wendell Scott had also been planning on running in this race, but after
being seriously injured at Talladega the month prior his schedule for
the year was adjusted and his son stepped in for the GNE races instead.
