Held on June 19, 1949 at the Charlotte Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina, the race comprised 200 laps on a {{Convert|0.75|mi|km|adj=on}} dirt oval. Bob Flock won the pole position for the race with a top speed of {{convert|67.958|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. Glenn Dunaway initially claimed the victory in his 1947 Ford, but was later disqualified because his car had spread rear springs. The win was instead awarded to Jim Roper, driver of a 1949 Lincoln.[2] Race organizationThe race was run on the same day as competitor NSCRA, operated by NASCAR founder Bill France, Sr.'s rival Bruton Smith, held a race in Atlanta. In an attempt to attract drivers from the opposing series, France offered prize money totaling $5,000, with $2,000 going to the race winner.[2][3][5] Attendance for the race totaled approximately 13,000, with Houston Lawing, NASCAR's publicity director, stating that over 5,000 fans were not allowed into the stands because the grandstands could not accommodate them.[4] As a result, spectators crossed the track into the infield to watch the race,[5] and state police had to appear to control them.[2] RacePole position was held by Bob Flock, who led for the first five laps before his engine malfunctioned,[2] and Bill Blair took the lead, which he held for 145 laps until Jim Roper took the lead on lap 151.[6] In the end, Glenn Dunaway won, but officials had expressed suspicion over Dunnaway's car remaining steady while entering the rugged turns,[7] and it was eventually discovered that car owner Hubert Westmoreland had spread the car's rear springs, a method commonly used by bootleggers to improve handling. Roper, who had finished three laps down, was given the victory,[8] while Dunnaway was scored as finishing last. Fonty Flock, Red Byron, Sam Rice and Tim Flock closed out the top five, while the top ten consisted of Archie Smith, Sterling Long, Slick Smith, Curtis Turner and Jimmy Thompson.[6] Westmoreland then sued NASCAR[9] for $10,000, but lost after judge Johnson Jay Hayes tossed it out of court.[7]Results
