While more than half a decade had passed the race result turned out to be the same as King Richard Petty and Petty Blue #43 Plymouth won again Young gun Dave Marcis didn't enter his self-owned #30 Dodge in this race and instead ran a second Ford as teammate to Cecil Gordon. The pairing proved to be a good one as Marcis brought his #97 Torino home fifth while Flash took sixth place himself in his usual #24. Marcis would run another short track race for Gordon later in the season. 6. Tucker posted: 11.16.2019 - 9:53 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Wendell Scott's sponsor was "Star City Body Shop" 7.

This meant that the 1972 and 1978 running's were held on Tuesdays. 1984 was a leap year which saw the race go from Monday to Wednesday and NASCAR abandoned the practice all together in 1988. 8.
