This race - and the 1969 and 1971 runnings of this race - was actually called the "Medal of Honor Firecracker 400", in an effort to honor Congressional Medal of Honor winners.[2] SummaryThis race eventually became Marty Robbins' most iconic race during his career in NASCAR. While he would start in 36th place (out of the 40 drivers who made up the racing grid), he would finish the race in eighth place, seven laps down. J.D. McDuffie ended up being the last-place finisher of this race due to an engine problem on lap 2 of 160. It took more than 160 minutes and two caution flags for David Pearson to defeat Richard Petty in front of sixty thousand fans. Six car lengths was the distance between Petty and Pearson. Bobby Allison secured the pole position at {{convert|179.619|mph|km/h}} during qualifying.[3] The race averaged {{convert|158.468|mph|km/h}}. Engine problems took numerous other drivers out of the race. All competitors (except for Canadian-born Vic Parsons) were born in the United States. Mercury, Dodge, and Chevrolet made up the majority of the grid. Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty and David Pearson were the only lap leaders. The Chevrolet vehicles indeed dominated the race, but after Yarborough and Allison retired from the race it was David Pearson's show.[3] Notable crew chiefs that in the race were Tim Brew, Jake Elder, Travis Carter, Harry Hyde, Dale Inman, Tom Vandiver, and Bud Moore.[4] Vic Parsons scored his best NASCAR finish in seventh place. This was his seventh and final Winston Cup top-10 but his sixth of 1973. The winner of the race walked away with $16,100 in prize winnings (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|16100|1973|r=2}}}} when considering inflation) while the last-place winner received $1,270 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|1270|1973|r=2}}}} when considering inflation). All the prize winnings from this race added up to $105,080 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|105080|1973|r=2}}}} when considering inflation).[5] Qualifying
