GT 200

Maryville, Tn. Aug. 10, 1968

The 14th Grand Touring race of 1968 was held at Smoky Mountain Raceway. A 1/2 mile paved oval. The event was scheduled for Friday the 9 th but was postponed to Saturday due to rain. Donnie Allison sat on the pole with a lap time of 21.1 seconds but wound up second to Tiny Lund who made it two in a row and number 6 win for the year. Buck Baker would hold onto the point lead with a 3 rd place finish and his 9 th top ten of the year. The lap count of 177 would suggest they never got to the scheduled 200 laps. Dont know if the reason was for rain, a curfew or some other reason.

Fin Srt Car # Driver Car Laps Reason out

1 16 Tiny Lund 68 Cougar 177 Running

2 1 27 Donnie Allison 68 Mustang

3 87 Buck Baker 68 Camaro

4 22 Harold Dunaway 68 Camaro

5 93 Charlie Glotzbach 68 Dart

Dont know what race this is from but it appears whoever is in the #15 is getting a push from Tiny with Donnie looking to the inside.
