Love it! Thanks for posting. Great to see the Dodges in front battling for the win!

AJ had a fairly decent season in 1964... he won ten Indy car races (including the 500) and the championship...along with this race.
The cars weren't "strictly stock" at that time, but they were obviously a lot more stock than what they call "stock cars" now. When the manufacturers started going to unibody construction as opposed to full frames later in the '60's, that was when the teams started building full tube chassis and roll cages and the cars REALLY began to change.

@UsonianAC yeah. I wonder why the people were standing in the infield...kind of dangerous would you say lol

@Lights0ut1109 It seems smaller to me back then, largely because the grandstands have been built up over time since the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959. Daytona International Speedway is still a 2 1/2 mile, high-banked, tri-oval, however.
