Richard Petty liked to have gone out of the track. He was battling with
Bobby Allison when he got forced up the track. He climbed the guardrail
and looked like he was going to go into the grandstands, but he clipped
a chain-link fence and got thrown back on the track. And he still had
the lead. If you have a copy of NASCAR Chroncle, it will say that Petty
said, "I cant believe I still had the lead. I cant believe that there is
wheels still on the car." It was something like that.

I think that was actually at the other Cup race there that year.

As Vic Elford did not receive points for Daytona, Tommy Gale is actually
the 20th place driver with 307.5
