Maynard Troyer, perhaps best remembered for his wild crash in the 1971
Daytona 500, scores a career best 4th place finish. It was his only
career top 5.

Also the first of four top 5s for Joe Frasson, one of NASCAR's craziest
drivers.

Speaking of Frasson, why were there two #18 cars in this race?

They probably entered the same car number and one of the teams may have
never qualified but made the field.
Ex. last year at Lowes Jackques Villinue and Kirk Shelmerdine both
entered #27s.

Anyone know how the speedway was 2.040 miles during 70-71?

Regarding comments #1 & #2: Originally this site listed Richard D. Brown
(who finished 16th) as driving a number 18 car (the same number as Joe
Frasson, who finished 5th). I wondered about this because Junior Fields
(who owned Richrd D. Brown's car) entered 20 Cup races and they were
always car number 91. So I sent an e-mail to the administrators of this
site about having two #18 cars for this race. They replied that they had
used a Greg Fielden book as the source for the results for this race,
but when they weht back and checked the results against some NASCAR race
reports they found out that Brown had indeed run the #91 car for this
race and they made the change to this listing. Mystery solved.

Per the radio broadcast, it seemed Pete Hamilton had the only car that
could possibly beat Allison.
