As the inaugural running of what is now known as the GEICO 500, it helped to serve as a prime example of Talladega races yet to come. Nord Krauskopf's Bobby Isaac won the pole position, and the race was won by Petty Enterprises's Pete Hamilton. BackgroundAlabama International Motor Speedway (AIMS), later known as Talladega Superspeedway, is a motorsports complex located north of Talladega, Alabama. It is located on the former Anniston Air Force Base in the small city of Lincoln. The track is a Tri-oval and was constructed by International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by the France Family, in the 1960s. Talladega is most known for its steep banking and the unique location of the start/finish line – located just past the exit to pit road. The track currently hosts the NASCAR series such as the Monster Energy Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. The track is the longest NASCAR oval with a length of {{convert|2.66|mi|km}}, and the track at its peak had a seating capacity of 175,000 spectators.[2]Qualifying
Failed to qualify: Dick May (#67), J.D. McDuffie, Johnny Halford (#57), Wayne Smith[3] SummaryThe second half of the race was aired nationally on ABC Sports.[4] A crowd of 36,000 was present at the race.[5] Only manual transmission vehicles were allowed to participate in this race; a policy that NASCAR has retained to the present day. 32 lead changes occurred between eight drivers within the course of this race. Buddy Baker, Hamilton, Isaac, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough, Richard Brickhouse, Charlie Glotzbach and Bobby Allison all had their opportunities to dominate the race.[6] Bill Shirey blew his engine on lap 3 while Dale Alonzo inflicted terminal vehicle damage on lap 10. Further engine failures were noticed on the vehicles of Don Tarr on lap 17, Richard Brickhouse on lap 25, Bobby Mausgrover on the same lap, and E.J. Trivette on lap 73. Henley Gray wasn't able to steer his vehicle properly; forcing his exit on lap 78. Jim Vandiver managed to overheat his vehicle on lap 93. Two more engine failures would be spotted as Raymond Williams had to leave the race on lap 107 and Charlie Glotzbach had to leave the race on lap 117. Bill Champion's vehicle developed an oil leak on lap 125 while Bobby Allison managed to ruin his engine on lap 126. Elmo Langley couldn't continue the race due to a faulty engine on lap 149. Water pump issues took Ron Keselowski of the race while Alton Jones had to settle for a 24th-place finish due to engine problems on lap 155.[2] Notable crew chiefs at this race included Harry Hyde, Dale Inman, Maurice Petty, Tom Vandiver, Tom Ingram, Dick Hutcherson and Glen Wood.[7] Baker's accidentEven though Buddy Baker led the most laps with 101 (along with having a nine-second distance between Pete Hamilton by lap 170), he spent 88 minutes on pit road allowing Hamilton to lap him. Baker began to close in on Hamilton. However, Baker's tire blew heading into the fourth turn on lap 175; fragments of the tire would ultimately damage the engine cooler that would result in a serious fire for his Dodge vehicle. Baker proceeded to attempt to put out the fire by spinning into the grass apron, as the area appeared to have the least amount of possible impact on other cars.[11] Baker suffered second-degree burns to the legs and face but was subsequently released from the hospital. When asked about the incident, Baker stated, "it was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. I don't really mind losing this time; I'm just happy to be alive."[8] Baker would finish 12th, as Hamilton led the final 18 laps to give him the victory, with a 44-second lead[9] over second-place finisher Isaac; Pearson, Benny Parsons and Yarborough closed out the top five. The win was Hamilton's second of the season, and Hamilton would eventually win the second Talladega race.[6] Finishing orderSource:[9]{{div col|colwidth=18em}}
