This link seems to indicate that the finish was in the "600 " , going by the laps run by the
lead lap cars .

Along the same lines , of small guy car ownership , anybody remember Herman Beam ?
I remember reading in the Sunday paper back in approx '60-'61 or so , that he was an accountant
or similar , and raced the Nascar schedule on his own dime , and made a slight profit by staying out of
the way , and being fugal .That artcle showed him in a Stude Lark, altho as of yet, I haven't been
able to locate it. He later was a Ford guy .
Google him http://legendsofnascar.com/Herman_Beam.htm
Along the same lines , that is why I became a Jimmy Means fan. Small time guy, and
ran his own show for most of his driving career. Still puts cars out there in Nationwide , and
I think occasional ARCA races .
