Hilarious. Tim Flock wins a race on July 30 in New York, travels across
the country the next day and wins again in California.

Predating Charlie Scott's race at Daytona, this may be the debut of an
African-American driver in the Cup series.

Driver Eliso Bowie (who may actually be named Elias) who finished 28th
was African-American. This was his only NASCAR race.

Awww, c'mon. A driver named Crash Carson can't exit the race with oil
pressure problems. He's GOTTA go out with a bang. An original start and
parker?

I had to laugh at Bob Stanclift having no explanation for retiring from
the race.

Also, John Kieper was originally declared the winner of this race, but
the race in the end went to Flock because of a scoring error.

"You can trust your car to the man who wears a Star."

Chuck Meekins' #65 Oldsmobile was the first recorded NASCAR entry to be
sponsored by Texaco, in this case it looks like it was a local station
instead of the brand itself. This was the only time Larry's Texaco
Service was recorded as sponsoring a Cup car but Texaco would become an
iconic NASCAR sponsor from the late 1980s through the early 2000s.

Vee Dent's DNQ spoiled the chance for him to race against Crash Carson...
could have been the Crash & Dent show.
