The 1971 West Virginia 500 was a NASCAR Winston Cup Series racing event that took place on August 8, 1971, at International Raceway Park (Ona, West Virginia, USA). 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== Five hundred laps took place on a paved oval track spanning .〔〔 The total time of the race was two hours and fifty-seven minutes.〔 The average speed of the race was while the qualifying speed for the pole position was .〔 Ten thousand people would attend the live race to see Richard Petty defeat Bobby Allison by more than two laps.〔〔 There was a grid of 32 American-born competitors.〔 Jerry Churchill decided to quit the race after the first lap; giving him a meager $300 paycheck ($ in current US dollars).〔〔 Bill Shirey would also quit on lap 31; earning the same amount that Churchill did.〔〔 Bill Seifert would leave the race on lap 187 due to a legitimate illness.〔〔 No replacement was found and he brought home $330 from his hard day of racing ($ in today's American dollars).〔〔 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 West Virginia 500」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
