...in a Camaro. I don't think NASCAR counted it though on that same
issue as to why Bobby Allison lost a win due to his victory in a Mustang
that same year.

RFX is correct. Lund is not officially credited with a Winston Cup victory.

This was the race that has caused controversy amongst Bobby Allison
fans. Allison was invited by NASCAR to participate in this race in the
Ford Mustang, to fill out the field. Allison went onto win the race in
this Mustang. However, NASCAR did not count the victory. In 2006, the
NASCAR rule books had changed the ruling on this race, and had Allison
officially ahead of Darrell Waltrip with 85 wins. Then later on in the
year, $John Darby$ (spelled correctly) went on to say that the win did
not infact count, and there was a "computer glitch" and that Allison's
total is back down to 84. And as of today, March 23, 2010, that's where
Bobby Allison's win total remains.

All sources I have seen, including NASCAR's official report of the race,
show Wendell in car #26 for this race. What is your source that says
otherwise?

The NASCAR Record book for the 1971 season lists Ronnie Hopkins as
Tiny's owner and crew chief in Grand American, I would assume that he
would have been crew chief for any of Tiny's Grand National starts in
the Camaro

NASCAR may not count these races for Lund, but Chevrolet officially
counts them as Cup wins as far as their ?Milestone? wins list goes.
