SummaryZsa Zsa Gabor served as the celebrity grand marshall. There were 40 drivers on the starting grid. A audience of 125,000 fans would see 43 lead changes along with 32 laps under a caution flag. The entire race from green flag to checkered flag lasted for four hours and twenty minutes. During the first 100 laps, David Pearson, Darrell Waltrip, and Donnie Allison were fighting for the lead. The final laps would become a battle between Donnie Allison, Darrell Waltrip, and Benny Parsons. Waltrip would eventually defeat Donnie Allison by two seconds in his 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Joining him on victory lane would be his wife Stevie. Jerry Jolly would be the last-place finisher due to problems with his suspension on lap 20. The lowest driver to actually finish the race was D.K. Ulrich.[2] After the race, Cale Yarborough would only be 30 points behind Benny Parsons in the overall championship standings. The number of points for Dale Earnhardt and Ron Hutcherson were never recorded. Earnhardt got the #98 car ride when Willie T. Ribbs got fired from it because he was arrested for reckless driving; Ribbs had qualified the vehicle in 28th place but Earnhardt would finish the race in 17th place.[2] The entire prize purse for this race was $310,491 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|310491|1978|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation); Waltrip received $48,608 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|48608|1978|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation) while Jerry Jolly took home $1,090 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|1090|1978|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation).[3] Roland Wlodyka would end his professional driving career with the NASCAR Cup Series after the end of this racing event.[4]Racial controversyWilly T. Ribbs was expected to be at this NASCAR Cup Series event, being a popular African-American race car driver of the time. After failing to appear at two special practice sessions, he was sacked and replaced with then-obscure driver Dale Earnhardt; who back then specialized in short track racing and was not yet a serious championship contender.[5] A lot of traditionalists chided the opportunities that Ribbs received; getting into the higher levels of NASCAR simply because he was black.[6]Qualifying
