1969_Texas_500--Richard_Lee_Petty

The 1969 Texas 500 was a NASCAR Grand National Series event that was held on December 7, 1969, at Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas.
Souvenir racing programs were sold at the event for the then-inexpensive cost of $1 USD per copy ($7.98 when adjusted for inflation).
The extra four degrees of banking made the cars 16 miles per hour or 26 kilometres per hour faster than their speeds while racing at Michigan International Speedway.
