Camping World Truck Series season. Petty's five consecutive wins during the 1971 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season is considered to be the equivalent of Sebastian Vettel winning nine races in a row at the end of the 2013 Formula One World Championship. Dick Poling would retire from the NASCAR Cup Series after finishing in 26th place during this race. Notable crew chiefs who fully participated in the race were Junie Donlavey, Harry Hyde, Dale Inman, Vic Ballard, Lee Gordon, and John Green. The race car drivers still had to commute to the races using the same stock cars that competed in a typical weekend's race through a policy of homologation (and under their own power). This policy was in effect until roughly 1975. By 1980, NASCAR had completely stopped tracking the year model of all the vehicles and most teams did not take stock cars to the track under their own power anymore.
