The 1971 Yankee 400 was a ''NASCAR Winston Cup Series'' race that took place at the Michigan International Speedway on August 15, 1971. The entire purse that the racers competed for in this event was $51,015 ($ when adjusted for inflation). Maynard Troyers only finish in the "top five" was recorded at this event. During this era, Michigan International Speedway was a Mercury-dominated track. It was also a track that suited a smooth driver or a driver that could change his driving tactics for Michigan International Speedway. ==Summary== There were 26,000 fans on attendance for this two hour and forty minute race in the American community of Brooklyn, Michigan〔 (compared to the 103,000 fans who attended the 2009 Carfax 400). There were two cautions for twelve laps and the victory margin was three seconds.〔 Average speed was per hour while the pole speed was per hour.〔 All forty competitors in this race were born in the United States of America.〔 197 laps were undertaken on a paved oval track spanning .〔 Coca-Cola was the most major sponsor (and was sponsoring the winner of that race).〔 Manufacturers involved in this race included Mercury, Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet, and Plymouth.〔 Pontiac failed to provide a racing vehicle in this series〔 and only American manufacturers were allowed to race during this era after seeing foreign models dominate the 1950s and most of the 1960s. 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 anymore. 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 Yankee 400」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
