"Attendance 22,000" ... I think we counted 13,000+ stubs that night. It
was overcast with a threat of rain.

Two #25's listed. Believe Bill Champion was driving #10.

Wendell Scott ran a Don Robertson Ford at Daytona two days earlier. He
brought his own car to Dover and the "fresh" machine brought him home
with a top ten finish

The number of ticket stubs counted was in the 13,000 area. The race was
run under overcast skies. That plus the lack of competition for the
three factory Fords combined for the disappointing crowd

This was Richard's only win on a super speedway during the 1969 season
driving a Ford. All of this other wins that year were on a road course
or short track.

How did RP lead through lap 330 when the race was only 300 laps?

Not only the first cup race at Dover, but also the only one where the
start/finish line was on the backstretch we know today. Pit road was
where it has always been.

Man what a brutal schedule in those days. The Firecracker 400 at Daytona
on the 4th, then haul ass all the way up to Delaware two days later. On
a track that no one had raced on before no less.
