The ''1969 Pickens 200'' was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on June 21, 1969 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== 25 drivers competed in this 200-lap racing event that took more than one hour and thirty minutes to successfully complete. Paul Dean Holt was credited with the last-place finish due to an engine problem on the first regulation lap of racing. Bobby Isaac would defeat David Pearson by nine seconds. Isaac, Pearson, and Richard Petty would be the only drivers on the lead lap by the end of the event after dominating the entire race.〔(''1969 Pickens 200'' ) racing information at Racing Reference〕 James Hylton would compete directly against Nord Krauskopf as a NASCAR team owner for supremacy; Krauskopf's 1969 Dodge vehicle would prove to be superior to Hylton's 1967 Plymouth vehicle. The model year of the vehicles varied from 1967 to 1969 in compliance with NASCAR's regulations of that era. Cecil Gordon quit the race on lap 123 due to personal issues. Other notable drivers to appear at this race included: Neil Castles, J.D. McDuffie, Elmo Langley, Wendell Scott, and Bill Champion. Buster Sexton was black flagged during this race and was eventually disqualified on the ninth lap of the race.〔 Individual winnings for this race varied from a meager $200 ($ when adjusted for inflation) to an incredible $1,000 ($ when adjusted for inflation).〔 The total prize purse for this racing event was $6,795 ($ when adjusted for inflation).〔(''1969 Pickens 200'' ) racing information at Fantasy Racing Cheat Sheet〕 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「1969 Pickens 200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
