The day before this race, Dale Earnhardt made his first appearance at
Charlotte/Lowe's in the NASCAR Late Model Sportsman race (the
predecessor to the Busch series) and finished 13th.

Last race for owner Ray Fox, his #3 Dodge finished 29th after a blown
engine with Wally Dallenbach Sr as the driver (also making his last
NASCAR start)

This was Bobby Issac's final start for Nord Krauskopf. The driver/owner
combination that earned the 1970 Winston Cup title reunited for the
final time here as Nord fielded a second K & K Insurance Dodge for
Bobby, this was their only race together for after parting ways with a
few races left in the 1972 season.

Driver changes: Bill Champion qualified the #10 that Elmo Langley raced
and Bill Dennis qualified the #59 that David Sisco took over.

Marty Robbins missed the field on time and only started after GC Spencer
withdrew. He might have been regretting that after his accident, his
facial injuries needed 37 stitches.

Kinda funny that Marty Robbins started 42nd, finished 42nd, and drove
the number 42. Also, @10, Oof for Marty to have 37 stiches.

Incidentally, this race had the most lead changes in the 58-year history
of the National 500.
