Unlisted driver:
Dave Chase is a USAC Stock Car driver from Council Bluffs, IA.

I couldn't find anything concrete on Darwin Sandstrom but given that
he's another USAC stock car driver and all his other known races were in
the mid-United States probably safe to list him as an American as well.

I believe this might have been the qualifying race that David Pearson
was supposed to be in droiving Bud Moore's #15 Ford, but they had so
many engine problems that Moore's car never even made it to the grid for
the qualifying races. Moore tried to take advantage of a rule that
allowed cars with smaller engines (351 cubic inches) to run with less
weight, but that failed miserably in 1972. But Moore used that to his
advantage a year later when Bobby Isaac finished second in the 1973
Daytona 500, though two laps behind the winner. NASCAR was trying to get
rid of the bigger engines due to the coming energy crisis that NASCAR
knew was coming.

Bub Strickler tried to qualify a full size 1970 Chevy Impala. The car
was miserably slow compared to most of the Chevelles and Monte Carlos of
the other bowtie drivers.

@6 Very unusual choice for a race car at that time...I'm thinking this
has to be one of the last appearances for a full size car in a Cup race?
