1963: Joe Weatherly prevails in a confusing, two-part running of the Rebel 300 at Darlington Raceway. The race is run in a doubleheader format, with Weatherly winning the opening 150-miler and Richard Petty taking the second half. A complicated points system is used to determine the race winner. Weatherly edges Fireball Roberts by 6.1 points.
1968: David Pearson scores his first superspeedway victory since 1961 in the Rebel 400 at Darlington Raceway. Pearson's Holman-Moody Ford is powered by a small 396-cid engine, which allows him to run 293 pounds lighter than most of his rivals under the new power-to-weight ratio rules.
