1962 - Richard finishes 2nd to Ned Jarrett in a 200 lap race at Valdosta Speedway in GA. 1965 - Richard didn't complete a single lap and finishes dead last - 20th - in a race at Beltsville MD. "Did not start" was the reason for an early exit, yet he earned $200 - which was more than the drivers earned finishing 8th through 19th. 1967 - Richard wins the pole, leads every lap, and wins a 200 lapper at Savannah Speedway in GA - win #3 in his streak of 10 straight. 1973 - Richard finishes 2nd to Buddy Baker in the Nashville 420. 1974 - Richard finishes 2nd to David Pearson in the Yankee 400 at Michigan. 1979 - Richard finishes 2nd to Cale Yarborough in the Volunteer 500 at Bristol after starting on the pole - the last of his 127 career pole positions. 2001 - Buckshot Jones finishes as his name would imply - shotgun on the field - 43rd - after wrecking the #44 Georgia Pacific Dodge. 2007 - Kenny Wallace fills in for Kyle Petty in the #45 Wells Fargo Dodge and finishes 32nd in the Sharpie 500 at Bristol.
