Jim Bown came back from a wild practice crash that saw him flip the car
to win this one.

Took awhile, but here's the source. He flipped in practice, not during
the race itself.

"The King" Richard Petty makes a rare standalone Winston West start, in
fact the last of his career, just four days after he collected his 200th
and final Winston Cup win. Petty's entry for this race was unique one as
his #43 Pontiac was painted in a white variation of his usual STP colors
instead of Petty Blue. The King may have won at Daytona but he lasted
less than 15 laps here before a blown motor sent his white Grand Prix to
the garage.

Owners:
#7 Kyle Petty- George Jefferson
#43 Richard Petty- Gary Smith (he was a teammate to Hershel McGriff)

West Coast NASCAR promoter Ken Clapp worked out the deals to have both
of the Pettys entered in this race, getting Richard set up with
McGriff's Pontiac effort and partnering Kyle with George Jefferson's
outfit since it was the only Ford team in Winston West at the time and
Kyle was under contract to Ford to race exclusively in their cars at the
time. As part of the deal Kyle's Cup sponsor 7-Eleven also came aboard
to do a sponsorship on the Jefferson team's normal entry, the #95 of
Winston West rookie Derrike Cope.

The Jefferson team only had one road course car which they gave to Kyle
while Cope got one of their oval cars; as shown here Kyle also blew a
motor and went out early but Cope turned in a great run. Derrike's top-5
landed him a sponsorship from 7-Eleven from the rest of the season and
somewhat put him on the radar of the NASCAR guys out East.

The article Seibaru lists also reports Kyle Petty as dropping out due to
a broken oil sump pump.

I'm not gonna go look it all up, but I'm pretty dang sure this is the
only time Richard Petty, Kyle Petty, Derrike Cope, Hershel McGriff, Bill
Schmitt, and St. James Davis all ran in the same race.
