The "Augusta 510" was run on November 17, 1963 with a noon start time and a 5:00 PM end
time.  The race actually covered 417 miles because of the time limit.

This event was the second race of the 1964 season for the Grand National Division of
NASCAR which was later to become the Winston Cup Division and then Nextel Cup.

The preceding race was held at Concord, NC and the following race was held at Jacksonville,
Florida.

Glenn "Fireball" Roberts was the winner of the "Augusta 510" and he would die later that
season as the result of burns suffered at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  He was driving a 1963
Ford and this would be his last win.

The "Augusta 510" was the second race of the 1964 season.  Six of the top seven finishers:
Glenn "Fireball" Roberts, Dave MacDonald, Joe Weatherly, Billy Wade, Larry Thomas and
Jimmy Pardue would lose their lives before the next racing season.  The seventh driver was
Ned Jarrett.

The pole sitter was Fred Lorenzen with a speed of 89.545.  He would only run 12 laps before
engine failure.

Weldon Adams would finish last after completing only 2 laps.

Wendell Scott would finish 18th.  He would win the next event in Jacksonville becoming the
only African American to win a major NASCAR race.  His feat has not been duplicated in 43
years.
