Last Cup race at Hickory. Dave Marcis had almost a sure victory until he
started having car trouble, handing the lead to Tiny Lund and eventually
finishing 16th with rear end problems.

Besides Elmo Langley's 2 wins in 1966, this was his only lead lap finish.

One of two races won by Lund in 1971 that didn't count because it was in
a muscle car.

It actually wasn't a muscle car, but a pony car, smaller but high-class
one.

The last cup race to have a scheduled length of under 250 miles.

Tiny Lund was a huge race car driver and after a long battle with Dave
Marcis, Dave faded because of a rear end. Being the last race at hickory
in the Grand National series it was a fun race because my step-father
went to the race

Since this race, the shortest Cup race (not counting exhibition events)
was Watkins Glen in 2017 at 2 hours and 7 minutes.

@8
Due to decreased factory participation and other factors NASCAR allowed
competitors from its Grand American series, which used pony cars as its
racing vehicles, to race with the Cup guys at certain events to prevent
short fields. Race winner Tiny Lund was one of these drivers, winning
the race in his Camaro and going on to win the Grand American title in
that series' final full season at the end of the year. Sometimes this
led to win issues though as NASCAR's official records tend not to give
Cup victory credit if the Grand American guys won (see the Bobby Allison
controversy about his wins in a Mustang).

Bailey and Thomas are both shown as starting 13th, no one is listed as 12th

To date, this is the last time car #64 has finished less than 4.5 miles
behind the leader.

This is the last ever NASCAR race that went less than 2 hours since the
start to checkered flag without it being shortened.
