made to the sport by the late 1960s brought an end to the "strictly stock" vehicles of the 1950s. Ford ended up dominating NASCAR in 1965. This came about because Dodge discouraged their vehicles from participating in the league due to the Hemi engine being banned from competition. Petty Enterprises ended up going into drag racing until Dodge solved its issues with the people who ran NASCAR at that time. All but one of the top ten finishers drove a Ford vehicle; the sixth-place finisher drove a Dodge (which no longer races in the NASCAR Cup Series as of 2013). Notable crew chiefs for this race include Don Snyder, Lanty McClung, Herb Nab, and John Ervin.
