Harlan Richardson was my great uncle by marriage. This race at
Charlotte's Southern States Fairgrounds was the best finish of his short
career. He also ran some ARCA races. He died when he crashed into a tree
on the road coming home from a local Saturday night short track race in
Houston in the late 1960's. Oddly enough, in this, his best finish, he
ended up 6th out of 29 cars. I had the 6th highest grade point average
out of 29 students in my senior high school graduating class of 2004.

Joe Menzer's book (The Wildest Ride) notes that Junior Johnson filled in
as relief driver for Ned Jarrett, winning the race. Jarrett was running
fourth a the time of the driver change. It was the 2nd half of the story
of where Jarrett had to win at Myrtle and this race to cover the $2000
check he wrote on Friday for the car. Apparently Johnson had heard the
story, and wouldn't accept any $ for driving the car.
