The ''1960 International 200'' was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on June 26, 1960 at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The race car drivers still had to commute to the races using the same stock cars that competed in a typical weekend's race through a policy of homologation (and under their own power). This policy was in effect until roughly 1975. By 1980, NASCAR had completely stopped tracking the year model of all the vehicles and most teams did not take stock cars to the track under their own power anymore. ==Summary== It took one hour and five minutes to resolve two hundred laps of racing.〔 The average speed of the race was while Lee Petty would qualify for the pole position with a speed of .〔 These speeds would be relatively slow on today's highway systems for passenger automobiles. Glen Wood managed to defeat Petty by half a lap in the actual race.〔 The foreign makes that participated in this race were the MG (as a part of Great Britain's now-defunct MG Cars) and the Triumph (as a part of Great Britain's now-defunct Triumph Motor Company).〔 Smokey Cook would end up as the last-place finisher in a 1952 MG T-type.〔 Lowe's appeared as an official NASCAR sponsor for the first time in its history.〔 Ten thousand and five hundred people appeared in person to watch this live untelevised race.〔 This would be the 22nd race out of the 44 raced that year; making this race the official halfway point of the 1960 Grand National Series season.〔 Individual race winnings ranged from the winner's share of $1,125 ($ when adjusted for inflation) to the last-place finisher's share of $140 ($ when adjusted for inflation). NASCAR allowed the organizers of this event to give out a grand total of $4,755 for all the qualifying drivers ($ when adjusted for inflation). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1960 International 200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
