The final race for Rex White, and certainly one of the most successful
final starts in Grand National/Winston Cup racing, with White leading
over 10 percent of the laps and coming home in the top-5.

Didn't White retire unexpecidely only a few years after his
championship, even when he was still competing very well? ...

Doug Cooper destroyed the steel guardrail in this race on the 44th lap
by blowing a right front tire on his Ford and slamming the guardrail
head on, tearing 30 posts supporting the rail out of the ground. It took
47 caution laps for safety workers to clean up the debris and fix the
guardrail so green-flag racing could resume.

Ned Jarrett records his only win at Atlanta and outraces the retiring
Rex White to it. Jarrett's pass for the win was on White.

It says Marvin Panch completed fourteen laps, but also says he led laps
eighty-nine and ninety. Anybody else notice this?

My guess would be he jumped in someone else's car as a relief driver,
which was common at the time. Seeing someone credited with leading laps
in a relief role would be rare, though.

If my math is correct, this race was the one where Petty clinched his
first championship, making it the earliest in the season for a Cup
driver to mathematically lock up the championship.

According to *my copy* of Greg Fielden's "NASCAR Chronicle," Petty
clinched the championship at the September race at Martinsville. I find
it a little incredulous to think that Petty would have clinched the
title with over half the season left to be run.

Bob Gray makes his only major league start in a Buck Baker 1962 Chrysler.
