The ''1969 Richmond 500'' was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on April 13, 1969 at Richmond Fairgrounds in Richmond, Virginia. 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== It took three hours, twenty-three minutes, and twenty-three seconds to finish. David Pearson defeated Richard Petty by one full lap (and took his points lead away from him).〔〔〔 The average speed of the race was .〔〔〔 Starting at 1:00 PM, the race did not conclude until 4:23 PM.
