The 1969 Sandlapper 200 was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on September 18, 1969 at Columbia Speedway in Columbia, 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== Bobby Isaac defeated Richard Petty by half a lap in front of a live audience of 6,500 NASCAR followers.〔(''1969 Sandlapper 200'' ) race information at Racing-Reference.info〕〔(''1969 Sandlapper 200'' ) race information at Race-Database.com〕〔(''1969 Sandlapper 200'' ) race information at DatabaseRacing.com〕 The first place position of the race changed hands three times and the race lasted one hour and twenty-five minutes.〔〔〔(''1969 Sandlapper 200'' ) racing information at FantasyRacingCheatSheet.com〕 Only two caution flags were waved for 15 laps.〔〔 While Petty would qualify for the pole position with a top speed of in qualifying, the average speed of the race winner would be .〔〔〔〔 The race was done on a dirt oval track and Isaac received $1,000 in prize winnings ($ when adjusted for inflation).〔〔〔 There were 23 American-born drivers on the starting grid.〔 Eldon Yarbrough, the brother of the late LeeRoy Yarbrough, would retire from NASCAR after this race with his only top ten finish in NASCAR history.〔 Wayne Gillette would withdraw from the race for reasons unknown and would finish the race in last place.〔〔〔 Johnny Halford would make his NASCAR debut here.〔 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 Sandlapper 200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
