...vacuum created by the lead car as a fuel-and engine-conserving tow−he hangs on Allison's flank and then passes him on the outside. When Allison regains the lead, Petty cuts inside and roars ahead for good on the eleventh lap. Aided by a crack pit crew who wipe his windshield, give him a drink of water, change the tires and fuel the car in 17 seconds, Petty coasts to his 151st victory by a four-lap margin...
