Lap leaders: This race was run as two twin 110-lap races (with all cars competing in both races), where the race results were determined by a complicated points system that summed performance in the two races. Race one lap leaders: Johnson 1-47, Weatherly 48-50, Paschal 51-76, Johnson 77-109, Weatherly 110. Race two lap leaders: Petty 1-67, Johns 68-69, Roberts 70-76, Petty 77-110. Weatherly, the only driver to finish on the lead lap in both races, won. So lead changes don't really apply here in the same way as other races.

Race notes: Richard Petty took the points lead from Ned Jarrett.
