Correct Rob. Heavy rains left the track too muddy for qualifying. Time
trials were scrapped, and Brooks drew the pole. The race was then
started under green-yellow. The cars paced for 24 laps to help pack the
clay for true racing. Once that happened, Ol' Earl got bull rushed by
the rest of the field.

Also, Bobby Allison broke a tie rod coming out of turn 4 on the 131st
lap. Similar to his wreck at Talladega 20 years later, Allison flipped
down the front stretch, cleared a guard rail, smashed through a fence
and came to rest near the scorers' table - a table at which his wife
Judy was sitting. Fortunately, Bobby, Judy and others were OK.

These were the only laps Brooks would lead in his Grand National career.

According to the lap data, Petty's lead lap total should be 183, not 177.

Trivette and Fagan are both shown as starting 25th, no one as 27th?

Until the 2020 The Real Heroes 400, this was the last race to have a
random draw for the pole position.

At the time of Allison's wreck the scorers were seated on the outside of
the track near the flag stand. This near miss was the end of that idea
and the scorers were moved to a safer location on the inside of the
track afterward.
