If Hendrick Motorsports' dominance confounds you, take a look at this:
This was the SIXTEENTH consecutive victory for owner Carl Kiekhaefer,
whose Dodges and Chryslers were piloted to wins by Buck Baker, Tim
Flock, Speedy Thompson and Herb Thomas in every race dating back to
March 25th. The streak was broken at LeHi, Arkansas one week later when
Ralph Moody claimed victory in a car fielded by former Indy 500 champion
Pete DePaolo.

Oh yeah, and Herb Thomas also won his last pole in this race.

Hat trick!
It was his last win, but it was the third win in a row for Thomas.

Also, it's a career best 2nd place for Harold Hardesty of Pasco, WA. It
was only Hardesty's 3rd career start

That's a long drive for $910.

Also, Kiekhaefer put a milliion bucks into racing to promote his
outboard motors. When the fans started to turn agasinst him for winning
too much, he bowed out. He was only in it for the boat motor exposure.

Lucky Long wasn't very lucky in his Cup debut, rolling his car after an
axle snapped.
