The ''1965 Gwyn Staley 400'' was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on April 18, 1965 at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, 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 any more. ==Summary== The race would be finished with a time of two hours and thirty-seven minutes with speeds approaching .〔 Three cautions were given out for seven laps.〔 Junior Johnson would beat Bobby Johns by seven seconds in front of 8,000 loyal spectators.〔 Johns still competed in NASCAR while being conscripted by the United States Army and serving near Columbia, North Carolina.〔 The pole speed would end up being ; this speed would be accomplished by Junior Johnson qualifying in a two-lap solo session.〔 This would be the eleventh race out of 55 races done in the 1965 season.〔 Ford vehicles would sweep the top five finishing spots because 74% of the racing grid were driving Ford Motor Company vehicles.
