The ''1970 Home State 200'' was a NASCAR Grand National Series (now Sprint Cup Series) event that was held on September 30, 1970 at North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, 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== This race was done on a dirt track spanning a distance of ; for a grand total distance of .〔〔(''1970 Home State 200'' racing information ) at Fantasy Racing Cheat Sheet〕 There were 23 drivers on the racing grid; all of them were American-born males.〔〔 John Sears would finish in last-place as the result of an engine problem on lap 16 out of the 200 laps that were raced that day.〔〔〔(''1970 Home State 200'' ) at Race Database〕 Richard Petty defeated Neil Castles by more than two laps〔 in front of 6,000 live audience members.〔 Two lead changes were made in addition to one yellow flag being waved for four laps; making the race last one hour and twenty-seven minutes.〔〔〔 The other finishers in the top ten included: Bobby Isaac, James Hylton, Cecil Gordon, Bobby Allison, Dave Marcis, Ben Arnold, Bill Hollar, Jabe Thomas.〔〔〔 Nord Krauskopf, James Hylton, and Bobby Allison were the most notable NASCAR owners in this race.〔〔〔 This race was the final dirt track race in what is now known as the Sprint Cup Series.〔(Countdown: North Carolina ) at NASCAR.com〕 John Kenney would retire after this race while Bill Hollar would make his debut here.〔 The top prize of the race was $1,000 ($ when considering inflation) while the last-place finisher received $200 ($ when considering inflation).〔 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「1970 Home State 200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
