Interesting. Ed Negre and Dean Dalton swapped rides for this race

Martinsville and there were no crashes on the shortest track on the
circuit. Amazing.

It's an epic battle of "Youth vs. Experience" as "The King" Richard
Petty wins for an incredible 14th time at Martinsville but only after
outdueling rising star "Jaws" Darrell Waltrip to get the day's silver
trophy. Don't feel too bad for young DW though, Waltrip broke through at
Nashville to score his first career Cup win just two races later. This
was Petty's penultimate Martinsville win and his 169th win overall.

The closing stages of this race saw Cale Yarborough leading with Petty
and Waltrip in pursuit. Yarborough's team had some issues on the last
pit stop and he lost a lap as a result, never making it up, so while his
car was still fast he'd have to settle for third. Petty pitted from the
lead for fresh rubber with 29 laps to go while Waltrip stayed out,
gambling the time saved would balance out his worn tires and get them
the win. It didn't work as Petty put the spurs to the STP #43 Dodge and
ran him down before passing him on the track for the win with 21 laps to
go.
