Bobby Allison and Mario Rossi's fifth race together sees them conquer
Bristol to claim their first win. Allison and his #22 Dodge took the
lead in the closing laps when the motor began going south on David
Pearson's #17 Ford, Bobby would have a clear route to victory lane as
Pearson's day ended behind the wall with a blown engine less than 3
miles from the end of the race.

According the Dale Jr Download of ?Odd History? Episode 307:
In 1969, there was no escape tunnel for traffic to enter/exit the
infield meaning if you crashed out early, you were forced to sit and
watch rest of the race. In this race Bobby Isaac was putting a whooping
on the field when with approximately 50 laps to go, the radiator hose
busted resulting in him dropping out of the race. Without saying
anything to his crew, Isaac sneaked off toward turn 2, with his helmet
in his hand. Waited for a gap in the traffic under green flag
conditions, ran across the track, hopped over the wall to get to his car
in the parking lot and drove home. Wouldn't that be something to see?
I'm sure there is no footage of this but if anyone out there has it,
please let us know
