The ''1965 Greenville 200'' was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on April 17, 1965 at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, South 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 any more. ==Summary== The track used would not be paved until the 1970 Greenville 200 race (which took place on June 27, 1970).〔〔 No record was ever released about the exact attendance numbers and it was the tenth race out of the fifty-five races during that year.〔〔 Two hundred laps were done on a dirt oval track spanning .〔〔 The race took one hour and forty-five minutes to successfully complete with three cautions given out by NASCAR.〔〔 Notable speeds were: for the average and for the pole position speed (accomplished by Bud Moore).〔〔 The winning vehicle was a 1965 Ford Galaxie driven by Dick Hutcherson.〔〔 Other notable drivers included: Ned Jarrett, Buddy Baker, Wendell Scott, Neil Castles, Elmo Langley, Roy Tyner, and Cale Yarborough.〔〔 A significant part of the field were individually owned vehicles with no formal sponsorship whatsoever. Both Clyde Lynn and Cale Yarborough shared a single crew member for pit lane. Many drivers would run an entire race at slow speeds back then if they had no chance of winning. Usually, they get lapped before the sixth lap of the race, and eventually withdraw from the race for some reason. The total prize purse for this racing event was $5,040 ($ when adjusted for inflation). Hutcherson received $1,000 ($ when adjusted for inflation) while the bottom 13 finishers split $100 apiece ($ 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「1965 Greenville 200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
