Forty-two cars started the race, only fifteen finished: 1st-12th, 14th, 18th, and 23rd were running at the finish. This race was also truncated with 8 laps left in the scheduled distance (race ended after 196 of 204 laps). Only six cars finished on the lead lap (all 196), 7th was three laps down (193), 8th & 9th were five down (191), 10th & 11th were seven down (189), 12th was eleven down (185), 14th was nineteen down (177), 18th was 67 laps down (129), and 23rd was 109 laps down (87). Tim Steele led the most laps (108), and a total of seven drivers led a lap.
30:48 Mickey Hudspeth had to have his left hand amputated after his crash, John Gill had to have surgery to repair a fractured bone in his upper left arm. Gill also had two broken bones in his neck that did not require surgery. 1:32:50 1:37:13 Ron Burchette sustained a concussion in his crash and was hospitalized. The other two incidents, 2:47:04 3:33:17 while scary looking, everyone was ok. Old Atlanta was a tough ol' joint!
Indeed this has to be the world's most brutalist race ever seen in the history of not just Stock car racing but the whole of motor racing aside from Imola 94
I forgot you uploaded this Michael

Never saw a race before or since that had so many drivers injured- many seriously- or so many completely destroyed cars.

The most ARCA race that ever ARCA'd
31:20 a car coming through locking it up and spinning to miss the wrecked cars…. 34 seconds after the crash started 😩🤦🏻
