The 1968 Beltsville 300 was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on May 17, 1968 at Beltsville Speedway in Beltsville, Maryland. 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.
