I'm not familiar with pole sitter Don White. Pretty impressive showing.

The 60's and early 70's seem to be the golden era's of racing...

I went to Langhorne speedway 1/2 mile in 1970 to watch indy car racing and a red 70 SS396 Chevelle was the pace car. Remember it well. Mario was there with his #2 bright red car and I will always remember the sound of the Offys and the Ford Coyote race team Ford engines

The sound of those cars is definitely intoxicating. Incredible.

Surely it isn't so; but is sure looks like the driver of car number 1 is flicking his cigarette at 4:28 to 4:31.

David Pearson and Bobby Isaac and a number of other stock car drivers had working cigarette lighters in there cars.

He drove Ford's (quite successfully) for a friend of my Grandfather's in the early 60's. Ironically, Jerry Kulwicki (father of the late Alan Kulwicki) was the crew chief. My Dad has fond memories as a kid being around that shop. They were based in Milwaukee.
