Only manual transmission vehicles were allowed to participate in this race; a policy that NASCAR has retained to the present day. ==Summary== Four hundred and twenty laps were done on a paved oval track spanning for a grand total of .〔 The race took three hours, ten minutes, and nine seconds to successfully complete.〔 Darrell Waltrip defeated Bobby Allison by more than one lap〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1977 Nashville 420 racing results (fourth reference) )〕 in front of seventeen thousand and five hundred people.〔 This race was important to Waltrip as this track was considered his "local" Winston Cup Series track at the time. Ten cautions were given for fifty-four laps.〔 Notable speeds were: as the average speed〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1977 Nashville 420 racing results (second reference) )〕 and as the pole position speed.〔 Total winnings for this race were $56,175〔 ($ when adjusted for inflation) and the winner walked away with $9,415 of that amount ($ when adjusted for inflation). Waltrip was overcome by the excessive heat shortly after the race. As a result, he took oxygen while on top of his vehicle's hood and wasn't lucid enough to give a post-race interview. Ronnie Thomas was supposed to make his debut on this track but got into a wreck and didn't get it fixed in time to qualify. He would make his debut in the 1977 running of the Old Dominion 500 (now ''Tums Fast Relief 500'') instead. Mike Kempton made his official NASCAR debut in this event while Henley Gray would retire from professional stock car racing as a driver after this event.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1977 Nashville 420 racing results (fifth reference) )〕 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「1977 Nashville 420」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
