In his own words Marcis simply quitted his ride in this race because
"they did not want to put tires on it".

When your sponsor is a Pontiac dealer is it a good or a bad thing that
Dick Brooks Ford broke down early and finished poorly in this one?

Sponsor:
#43 Richard Petty- Pepsi / Plymouth by Petty
#11 Buddy Baker- Dodge by Petty

It's the Cola Wars at 160 MPH! There's a great picture of Allison and
Petty duking it out up front in this one, highlighting that Allison
drove the Coke car in this one while Petty drove for Pepsi. Tiny Lund
also had a Pepsi car in this one but dropped out early on.
