First time this race was 400 miles. It was 250 miles the first 4 years.

Mexican F1 racer Pedro Rodriguez crosses over to make his first NASCAR
start in more than four years and his first start at Daytona...but gets
sidelined before halfway by Pontiac's mechanical woes.

Jim Paschal was driving the #31 rather than the #03. Per Tom Mooty's
comments on Facebook: "The records are incorrect about at least one of
the Paschal starts. The car Paschal raced in the Firecracker 400 was
actually #31 in the race, photos exist showing that. They probably did
enter the second car as #03 (the #03 was the short track car with blue
interior, the superspeedway car had champagne interior) but due to rain
in Atlanta the superspeedway car was used to win the Dixie 400 only 4
days prior to the Firecracker. I was at Atlanta for that race.

Since they didn't have time to freshen the Atlanta winner before Daytona
Junior drove the short track car there and the car that won Atlanta
received a very hasty temporary #1 after the #3 for Paschal."

Yeah, Brad 24. Had the race stayed 250 miles another year, Junior
Johnson would have added another superspeedway win to his im probable
season.

Troy Ruttman flipped four times through turn 1-2 on lap 52, he wasn't
seriously injured.

Added clip to links that show car #31. I believe the clip belongs to
this race if anybody can watch and confirm.
