The ''1963 Turkey Day 200'' was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on November 22, 1962 at Tar Heel Speedway in Randleman, 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== This race, while being in the 1963 season happened after November 1, 1962. This put the racing event in the 1963 points season. Since 2001, NASCAR has never organized a race this late in the year for its NASCAR Cup Series because NASCAR now mandates a 12-week silly season. Being a ¼-mile track, the entire race only spanned .〔 Three thousand and five hundred people attended this live racing event which ended in one hour and three minutes.〔 Twenty-three American drivers and one Canadian driver (Jim Bray) participated in this race.〔 Notable speeds were: for the average speed and for the pole position speeds.〔 These slow speeds would not look out of place on a modern-day American Interstate highway. The winner (Jim Paschal who raced for Petty Enterprises) would receive $575 in winnings ($ when considering inflation) while the last place driver (Ned Jarrett) would walk away with $100 in prize winnings ($ when considering inflation).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1963 Turkey Day 200 racing information )〕 Glen Wood would lead the most laps (173) before finishing the race in 15th place due to an engine problem.〔 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「1963 Turkey Day 200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
