Dave Marcis did relief Richard Petty's car after overheating, however
Richard had a flu. Darrell Waltrip also relief into Benny Parsons's car
after the lap 75 overheating. Since Bristol we can't do that on Walter
Ballard and Dick Brooks.

I read about this race. Richard Petty was very sick during this race.
After winning, Bobby Allison commented how impressed he was with
Richard's driving, considering how bad he felt.

Dave Marcis almost won this race. Petty was sick, and had to get relief.
No better than Dave. He almost got the king 201 this race.

Bobby Allison takes a clean sweep of Darlington in 1975. The Lady in
Black was smiling on him that year.

The race was plagued by rain and did not end until around 7 PM.

Allison's victory was the last NASCAR Cup series win for a car that
wasn't manufactured by Detroit's Big 3 for more than 30 years until Kyle
Busch won the 2008 Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta driving a Toyota Camry.
Fittingly, Busch also won the Southern 500 later that year for the next
non-Big 3 win at Darlington. Surprisingly this was Roger Penske's last
win as a Cup car owner at Darlington for more than 40 years until Brad
Keselowski won the 2018 Southern 500.

This was the fourth of Allison's five Darlington wins and he'd be
waiting almost a decade for that last one.
