NASCAR records show Bill Elliott as being in this race instead of Roger
Hamby. What is the reason for showing Hamby, who was the car owner?

Of Baker's 19 career victories, this was his second and final
short-track win.

Darrell Waltrip blew an engine in this race, but they changed it in 12
minutes, losing 29 laps. Once the DiGard team starting losing ground
they pushed the issue too much with their engines. Bill Gardner told
Darrell he would never spend so much money trying to win a championship
again. Gardner won the 1983 championship with Bobby Allison.

The Autumn 150 was scheduled to run the day before this race. For the
1st time it was a Sportsman Race instead of the traditional modified
race. Rain ended up postponing the race 1 week. The eventual winner was
Sam Ard, Tommy Houston was 2nd followed by J.E. Beard, Sonny Hutchins
and Ray Hendrick. Jimmy Hensley was 7th, Morgan Shepherd 17th, Jack
Ingram 18th, Tommy Ellis 19, Butch Lindley 23rd, Bob Pressley 24th, and
eventual champion Gene Glover was 27th.

Elmo Langley and Junior Miller should both be listed as driver changes,
starting line-up shows they both handled qualifying before handing over
to Tommy Gale and Dave Dion for the race.
