The 1971 Nashville 420 was a NASCAR Winston Cup Series racing event that took place on July 24, 1971, at Nashville Speedway in Nashville, Tennessee. 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 two hours and forty-seven minutes to complete 420 laps of racing at a paved oval track spanning .〔〔 Richard Petty qualified for the race with a pole position speed of and won it with an average speed of .〔 He defeated James Hylton by more than four laps in his 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner machine.〔〔〔 Dale Inman would be credited as the winning crew chief for this race.〔(''1971 Nashville 420'' ) racing information at Race-Database〕 Ten thousand people would watch two lead changes and four cautions for 46 laps.〔〔〔 Earl Brooks would make his best career finish with a fourth place performance.〔〔〔 All 29 of these competitors were American-born males.〔 Other notable names include future car owner Richard Childress, Sterling Marlin's father Coo Coo, Elmo Langley, and Bobby Allison (one of the famous Allison brothers of NASCAR history).〔〔〔 The total purse for this racing event was $20,980 ($ when adjusted for inflation).〔(Total prize purse at the ''1971 Nashville 200'' ) at Nashville 420〕 Richard Petty received $4,325 ($ when adjusted for inflation) for his well-deserved victory while last-place finisher Dick May only received $215 ($ when adjusted for 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「1971 Nashville 420」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
