That wild ride (an end over end flip that nearly saw him clear the first
turn wall) destroyed the only car Wendell had. Luckily he was able to
continue racing for other owners, first for Earl Brooks and then for Don
Roberson, until he was able to earn enough money to purchase another car.

Jim Hurtubise had planned to enter this race running a car owned by Neil
Castles, but withdrew for some unknown reason, as he never qualified.

Due to the USAC regulations of the day, drivers were only permitted to
compete in the Motor Trend 500 at Riverside, Daytona, and Charlotte. Any
other appearances would most likely get them banned, hence why Hurtubise
withdrew. This happened again in 1971 at the season finale at Texas
World Speedway. A contingent of USAC drivers showed up to compete, only
to withdraw due to threats from USAC.
