The night before this race, NASCAR admin and former driver Buddy Shuman
died in a hotel fire.

I think Lee Petty's 200th start

In a move that would be unthinkable in today's NASCAR, Fonty Flock
begins the 1956 season in a Pete DePaolo Ford, after spending most of
the previous year in arch rival Carl Kiekhaefer's Chryslers. Meanwhile,
brother Tim Flock wins this race for Kiekhaefer. Very next race of 1956
at Charlotte, Fonty is back with Kiekhaefer after his one race deal with
DePaolo, and wins that one from the pole.

Imagine that kind of fluidity in the sport now, especially with drivers
in the very top tier of talent.

Why was Tiger Tom Pistone disqualified?

I don't know what the violation was, but there is a story that Lee Petty
was the one who filed the protest and something outside the rules was
confirmed when the #91 was inspected after the race.

I question that because it looks as though Petty finished ahead of
Pistone without the DQ.
