Only manual transmission vehicles were allowed to participate in this race; a policy that NASCAR has retained to the present day. BackgroundAtlanta International Raceway (now Atlanta Motor Speedway) is one of ten current intermediate tracks to hold NASCAR races; the others are Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Homestead Miami Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway.[3] However, at the time, only Charlotte and Darlington were built. The layout at Atlanta International Speedway at the time was a four-turn traditional oval track that is {{convert|1.54|mi|km}} long.[4] The track's turns are banked at twenty-four degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, and the back stretch are banked at five.[4] SummaryThree hundred and twenty eight laps were done on a paved oval track spanning {{convert|1.522|mi|km}} for a grand total of {{convert|499.2|mi|km}}.[2] The total time of the race was three hours and fifty-five minutes.[2] Four cautions were made for forty-one laps.[2] Dave Marcis defeated David Pearson by two car lengths. In his third career start, Dale Earnhardt scores a career best to that point 19th place finish.[2] Chevrolet vehicles managed to fill out the majority of the racing grid.[5] Notable crew chiefs for this race included Travis Carter, Tim Brewer, Sterling Marlin, Dale Inman, Harry Hyde, Jake Elder, and Junie Donlavey.[6] Speeds for this race were: {{convert|127.396|mi/h}} as the average and {{convert|161.652|mi/h}} for the pole position.[2] Forty-six thousand fans attended this live race.[2] Total winnings for this race were $132,625 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|132625|1976|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation).[2] Canadian driver Jack Donohue would finish the race in last place without completing any laps of the race due to an engine problem;[7] he was granted 55 championship points just for qualifying.[2]G.C. Spencer inflicted terminal vehicle damage on lap 1 while Billy McGinnis blew his vehicle's engine on lap 15. A faulty head gasket forced David Sisco to leave the race on lap 34. Oil pressure issues would force Dick May out of the race on lap 60 while faulty wheel bearings eliminated Chuck Bown from the race on lap 75.[2] Coo Coo Marlin had a bad engine on lap 114. Oil pressure issues forced Richard Petty to leave the race on lap 157 while Frank Warren overheated his vehicle on lap 164. A valve problem caused Bobby Allison to leave the race on lap 168. Engine problems would claim the vehicles of Richard Childress on lap 218, Lennie Pond on lap 228, and Terry Bivins on lap 250. A problematic valve spring on lap 252 would end Richie Panch's weekend on the track. Grant Adcox's engine would stop working on lap 254.[2] David Pearson looked like a winner on lap 301 as he drove by Marcis on lap 301. Turns out Dave was cooling his tires and 14 laps later Marcis drove by Pearson to end up winning the race.[2] Richie Panch, son of Marvin Panch, would retire after the end of this race while Billy McGinnis would make his official NASCAR Cup Series debut.[8]Dale Earnhardt survived a huge crash when Dick Brooks slid down the banking of Turn 3; Earnhardt hit Brooks and tumbled to Turn 4.[9] Future NASCAR superstar Bill Elliott had a role wiping the windshield of 16th-place finisher Gene Felton's stock car; Elliott would go on to have a successful Cup Series career of his own 12 years later.[10] Qualifying
