Tim Flock, apparently exhausted after the long drive down from Rochester, decided to take a nap in the infield during the race. It was a costly move, as he was run over by one of the competitors and his resulting injuries forced him to sit out the next five races, effectively ending his championship bid. 3.

He clearly completed all 200 laps and won the race. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
