Allison completely dominated this race,he had a 2 lap lead and came to
the pits when they encountered stripped lug nuts which cost him a sure
victory in his Holman&Moody 1969 Mercury Cyclone.

Richard Petty capitalizes for career win #137 as Bobby Allison's wheel
troubles in the closing laps doom the dominate Holman-Moody entry. Petty
pulled a "spin and win" as he looped the famous Petty Blue #43 Plymouth
with 25 laps to go but didn't hit anything and got going again without
losing the lead.

This race marked Fred Lorenzen's return to Ray Nichels' team and the
driver's seat of the #99 STP Plymouth, having previously left the team
after Talladega saying it wasn't competitive. After a one-off with the
Wood Brothers at Darlington that ended in a bad crash Lorenzen came back
with his stint with Nichels here wasn't the best of times. He qualified
the bright #99 mid-pack and then fell out early with a blown engine. The
comeback deal was supposed to be for the rest of the season but it fell
apart and he left again, this time for good, with David Pearson brought
in to run Rockingham instead.
