w Cotton Owens takes the 1964 Capital City 300 on the dirt at Richmond, beating his "regular" driver, David Pearson! UPI photo

The Sept.14,1964 race was supposed to be an day race, rain-delayed the start and the race finished late at night.

Cotton Owens has poor-night vision and won this rain-delayed night race.
