Once again the wrong race was televised. This race was much better than
the TV race from May.

This race marked Kmart's debut as a NASCAR sponsor as they backed Fred
Lorenzen's white #3 Dodge Daytona. The winged Charger would fly high
today as Fast Freddie brought it home with a podium finish and led a few
laps en route.

While a large amount of attrition was not surprising back in these days,
it was surprising to see the number of top drivers and teams that
crashed out of this event, including Cale Yarborough, David Pearson,
Charlie Glotzbach, James Hylton, Buddy Baker, Pete Hamilton, and the
even king himself. You have to wonder whether there was something going
on with the tires or track surface that day, or if the top drivers just
were pushing too hard.
