I was at this race. Around lap 391, Baker, Allison and Petty all banged
into each other coming onto the front straight. The tail of Petty's car
rode up over the guardrail and hit the catch fence. Allison ran slower
after that incident, and Baker was out. Petty's car appeared to suffer
little damage, and he led the rest of the race.

Absolutely bizzare race. It is remarkable that the race had two cautions
because of emergencies in the infield. First, a child fell and broke his
arm, so his family rushed to the hospital and the race was slowed to
allow a car go through the gate. Then, a women suffered a heart attack
and this time caution was needed to allow an ambulance to leave. This
was all due to the fact that Richmond permitted infield camping but had
no tunnel.
