Richmond, VA. June 1, 1969
The 9th Grand Touring race of 1969 was held at the newly paved Richmond International Speedway and was 300 laps on the 1/2 mile oval. Tiny Lund started on the pole but heating problems led to a tenth place finish. Bill Hemby was flagged as the winner but Frank Sessoms protested the finish and was awarded the win three hours later. There were 10 cautions for 60 laps with thirteen lead changes. Many of the cautions were caused by the aggregate in the asphalt coming loose from the heat and pounding of the cars.
