Richard Petty and Bobby Allison had a heated duel at the end of the race
with Richard coming out on top. After the race, one drunk fan confronted
Richard in victory lane. Richard's brother Maruice whacked the fan in
the head with Richard's helmet ending the confrontation.

Buddy Baker entered the race and was to compete in the Harold Furr's
Chevy but contract obligations to STP and Petty Enterprises didn't allow
him to participate. I assume Furr asked Buck Baker to race his car instead.

Neil Castles brought 16 McCreary tires to the track and even practiced
on them but NASCAR informed him he couldn't run the tires Sunday. The
rule was that in order to participate in NASCAR competition a tire
manufacturer was obliged to produce at least 500 tires available for all
drivers.

That's interesting about the tires. I've always wished they'd allow more
competition between tire manufacturers nowadays.

Earl Brooks and Bobby Mausgrover actually qualified 29th and 30th but
were replaced by Charlie Roberts and Dean Dalton on race day.
