Краткое содержание
[ редактировать ]с твердым покрытием протяженностью 1,375 мили (2,213 км) был пройден двести девяносто один круг, На овальной трассе что в общей сложности составило 400,1 мили (643,9 км). [ 2 ] Время забега составило три часа пятьдесят четыре секунды, на нем присутствовало 22 500 человек. [ 2 ] За двадцать три круга было четыре предупреждения. [ 2 ] Дэвид Пирсон победил Дэрела Дирингера на его «Форде» 1968 года на восемнадцать секунд. Пирсон воспользовался преимуществами двигателя NASCAR и правилами веса на 1968 год и использовал двигатель объемом 396 куб.см вместо обычного 427. В то время автомобиль должен был весить 4000 фунтов с двигателем 427 куб.см, но только 3707 фунтов с двигателем 396 куб.см. Меньший вес окупился, поскольку Пирсон использовал меньше топлива и имел меньше проблем с шинами, чем многие другие команды. Пирсон будет продолжать использовать 396 в течение года. [2]
