Missing owner and some sponsor update. 5. RaceFanX posted: 12.28.2018 - 2:57 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Cale Yarborough finishes fourth in his lone Cup appearance at Watkins Glen. While he was still racing in the mid-1980s when the track returned to the schedule he didn't race here again once it did. 6. bduddy posted: 01.20.2019 - 3:39 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Actual race name was NASCAR Grand National 150 (assume the same for other early NASCAR races at Watkins Glen) http://www.nascarticketstubs.com/gallery/a1965NATG150.jpg 7.

Many unnamed races would have tickets like 'Wilson "200"' just so the fans knew what they were paying to see. It's a 50-50 whether or not it was the official race name though! 10.

Grossman had a top-5 in that race, driving one of the unique Jaguars entered that day, but here his Ford ended up as an early retirement. 13.
