I'm not 100% sure if this happened or not:

It started raining and they stopped the cars coming out of turn 4 on lap
73. A while later they fired the cars while it was still raining and
drove across the start/finish line so they could make the halfway mark
and call the race.

That is exactly what happened. It rained pretty much all weekend at
Darlington that year.

Jeff Green had a special "white and balloons" fan-designed paint job for
this race drawn by Chris Kettle, the son of a Rockwell Automation
employee who won a contest.

Derrike Cope's #49 was a Chevrolet.

I actually think since the race was odd number laps that they stopped
the cars off 4 basically 300 feet after halfway and then drove them to
the start finish. Regardless, that's cruel.

Shortest distance (in terms of % of scheduled distance actually ran) in
NASCAR history?

If it's not the race that beat it had to be pretty damn sorry.

On the broadcast, when Burton took the lead for the first (and final)
time he said on the radio, "Well, that was a fun race"

Wow 74 laps at Darlington. Sad excuse for a race

Well when mother Nature says you are done, then you are done. This was
pre-light/pre-titan days and NASCAR did purposefully stop the cars
before they crossed the line to complete the 74 lap. Although I think
Jeff Burton alluded to the fact that since the race had an odd number of
laps then they had already occurred somewhere on the backstretch.
