I was at the race he won in Kingsport, TN. Petty was down by something like 12 laps and won the race. Talk about sandbagging.

I never even remember NASCAR racing at Kingsport.
I remember hearing or watching races on TV at Hickory and North Wilkesboro.

They (GN Division) only raced there once, but the Baby Grand Division raced there a couple times. One was won by Buck Baker.

I checked it out and Petty was "only" seven laps down and came back to win.
