Saturday, September 5, 1970
Race #32 of 1970 was the second Grand American event held at Kingsport Speedway that year, a 3/8 mile paved oval. Tiny Lund started on the pole with Wayne Andrews to his outside. Andrews led the first lap but it was Jim Paschal who came from the inside second row that led the most laps, 249 of 297, on his way to victory number 9 and his 4th in a row. His dominance of late is seen in the fact that he has won 6 out of the last 7 races and was second in the one he didnt win. Buck Baker led 47 laps and finished 3rd behind Andrews in 2nd.
Paschal collected $1,000 for the win. Twenty one cars took the green flag before a crowd reported to be only 500. There were 2 cautions for 11 laps.
