Only 19 cars. A very small field.

This was probably the race where Lloyd Dane made a last lap pass on
Curley Barker, making it the second Cup race to be decided by a last lap
pass, the first one being the 1953 Daytona Beach-Road Course Race, when
Bill Blair made his move on Fonty Flock. This was Blair's third and
final win.:.( It was also his only win of the season, but that's tale
for another time. Anyway, this was the second victory for Dane and his
last for that season. I believe this was Barker's best race, as he never
won.:( Dane and Barker would never again in there careers be involved in
another last-lap showdown.

I did not know, however, that Pagan passed him, too.

As far as I know, Barker is the only last lap pass loser in Cup history
to never win a race.
