In June 2023, our site added the complete history of this event into our database. This event is a 3-hour endurance race. This race also uses a unique alternate starters format, where after the initial green flag, when a car enters the pits the race organizer may add the highest available alternate (Initial DNQ's in order of qualifying time). Their lap count starts from 0 when they enter the race. Any car which has been in the race and then has come into the pits for any reason may return to the track at any time. The starting field consisted of 24 cars from 1977-1984, 28 cars from 1985-2006 and 2015-present, and 32 cars from 2007-2014. Some interesting stats regarding these alternate cars: Best finish by an alternate driver: 3rd (3 times) Rance Harmon, 1982, Started 25th. Jerry Gordon, 1984, Started 29th. Leonard Basham, 1994, Started 31st. Most positions gained: 36 Jerry Gordon & Bill Frazer, 1985, Started 45th, Finished 9th.
