Exhaust Fumes from Daytona 500 Speed Week Wrinkles
Larry Thomas of Trinity finished 17th in the Daytona 500 in a year old Plymouth running on four pit stops as he tried to stretch fuel. Wrappers from spectators hampered several cars causing overheating and pit stops. Richard Petty won while skipping a victory party due to family plans amid mumps concerns. Tires proved costly for the field with blistering and a blowout ending Dave Pearson’s run.
