The end of the Buck Baker owned teams for 1964 as Buddy and J.T.Putney
are involved in a spectacular crash.

Not only did Buddy Baker & J.T. Putney both roll over in their wreck,
but Ned Jarrett and Billy Wade did as well!

Wade and Jarrett were racing hard for the lead around lap 170 when
Jarrett spun Wade out in turn 4. Wade did a 360°, but kept going
(although he lost 2 laps trying to refire), and eventually caught up to
Jarrett. Then, heading into turn 1, Wade pulled a
Kenseth-at-Martinsville move on Jarrett, slamming him in the door,
causing Jarrett's car to roll several times and bounce off the fencing!
Wade, meanwhile, hung the throttle, slammed into the wooden wall so hard
he busted a hole in it, and also rolled 2 or 3 times, both coming to
rest on their wheels. Neither driver was injured, but their cars were
demolished, and that would hand the lead, and eventually the win, to
Richard Petty, who at the time, was a lap behind.

According to Wade, "He spun me out on the backstretch after I passed him
clean, so I made up my mind to get him even if I had to wait on him."
