The 1966 Buddy Shuman 250 was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on September 9, 1966 at Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, 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== David Pearson managed to defeat Richard Petty by at least one lap; clinching his first NASCAR championship in the process.〔(''1966 Buddy Shuman 250'' ) at Racing Reference〕〔(''1966 Buddy Shuman 250'' ) at Fantasy Racing Cheat Sheet〕 There were 21 competitors in this race; all of them were American-born males.〔〔 250 laps were finished on a dirt oval track in one hour and twenty five minutes.〔 Petty would qualify for the pole position with a top speed of while the average speed of the race would only be .〔〔 Darel Dieringer would finish in last place due to an overheating engine on lap 3 out of 250.〔〔 The entire purse of the race would be a paltry $4,640 ($ when adjusted for inflation).〔 Pearson would receive $1,000 of it ($ when adjusted for inflation) while Dieringer would collect a meager $100 ($ when adjusted for inflation) along with seven other low-ranked finishers.〔 Other notable names to make their appearance include Junior Johnson, African-American race car driver Wendell Scott, perennial underdog J.D.
