| Description: | Stock cars races at Daytona Beach, Florida. Reach a sizzling climax with the 160 mile circuit championship, a grueling 39-lap test of men and machines. At speeds of over 100 mph, there are spectacular skids and flip-over's, but no fatalities in the motor event of the season. Establishing shot - The cars are speeding around a dirt track so there is a lot of skidding going on. MS - As the cars speed around the track they kick up a lot of dust where one can barely see. MLS - A spectacular flip over and over before the crowd of 32,000. CUS - Winner is Tim Flock by a 50 minute margin. He gets a big kiss from his wife and a hug from his son who is wearing a sailor hat. | |
