Fearless Fred Lorenzen of Elmhurst Illinois won the Fourth Annual Volunteer 500 at Bristol International Speedway in 1964 driving a Ford faster that 78.044 mph. He needed relief from Ned Jarrett for back and heat, as Richard Petty led most of the race before a late engine failure allowed Lorenzen to take the checkered flag. The event drew about 38,000 fans in extreme heat with 36 starters, 13 finishers, and a lone yellow flag on lap 145.
