Meanwhile, for the Bowman Gray race, should Allison’s win stand solely as a class win, seven-time Cup Series champion Petty would shift from 200 to 201 victories based on NASCAR’s precedent in other regional series. That would dramatically change the significance of several races, including what is currently accepted as ‘The King’s 200th victory in the 1984 Firecracker 400.
For Allison, who to this day maintains he won that Cup race in 1971, the additional win would break a long-standing tie with fellow Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip. Allison would move to having sole possession of fourth on the all-time NASCAR Cup Series win list.
