He'd go on to win four races during this season. This actually was NOT the first West race at Altamont but it was the first at the track since 1968, marking the series' return after an absence of almost five years. This was also the first West race at the track since the infamous Altamont Free Concert was held at the track in December 1969. 3. nascar_vd / Racing-Reference.info posted: 02.01.2018 - 12:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) P1973-01 Altamont Complete Driver standings after this race: 1) Ray Elder = 85 points 2) Dick Bown = 74 3) Markey James = 73 4) Jimmy Insolo = 72 5) Richard White = 70.75 6) Ron Gautsche = 69.50 7) Jack McCoy = 68.25 8) Johnny Steele = 67.25 9) Dick Kranzler = 66.25 10) Hershel McGriff = 65 11) Carl Adams = 60.50 12) Sonny Easley = 59 13) Bob Kauf = 57.50 14) Don Graham = 54.75 15) Jim Danielson = 52.25 16) Ron McKenna = 47.75 17) Carl Joiner, Jr. = 45.50 18) Bob England = 39.25 19) Chuck Wahl = 35.50 20) John Soares, Jr. = 34.25 21) Chuck Bown = 32.75 22) Jerry Kunze = 31 23) Roy Smith = 28.50 Note: Paul Dorrity was a 'Post Entry' and did not receive any points. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
