3. Jimmy Florian 720 -313.5
4. Bill Rexford 490 -543.5

First time when one track hosted two races in one season.

I read through several sources that Lee Petty was stripped of "all 809
points" *before* this race. The 809 points matches what Chevy had posted
Lee Petty having after the previous race. Also, I know it has been
several years but great job Chevy on figuring out all the points for
these races. You have helped clarify about a lot of stuff that happened.
I didn't know about all the other drivers. The only ones I know for sure
was Petty before this race, and Red Byron once earlier in the season and
then a second time later in the season, though I'm not certain when.

Curtis Turner actually won back to back in races 3 and 4, so this was
the second time it had ever happened (both by Turner) but another thing
that makes it impressive, he led every lap in both races.

Lee Petty had all previous points earned prior to this race removed for
competing in an unsanctioned race; a total of 809. Lee still finished
third in the standings 561 points behind champion Bill Rexford. Had he
not had his points stripped, Lee would have been the 1950 champion.

Bill Blair went out with a busted spindle on lap 145.
Lee Petty and Glenn Dunnaway both dropped out on lap 175.
