There was an unusual entry in thus race. Jim Wright was a journalist for
Popular Science magazine. The magazine editor convinced Dodge and Cotton
Owens to put him in a car for this race so he could write an article
about NASCAR. He qualified well but JT Putney spun him on lap 2 or 3.
After the restart, the strain of the spin caused him to break a right
front spindle and put him out of the race early. His article was in the
August 1967 issue of Popular Science.
