Starting 23rd in the field of twenty-five, Tatum completed just a third of the race before differential issues left him 19th. Tatum's final four races came in the 1966 season and it proved to be a mixed bag for Tatum. It started off well enough, as Tatum drove his way to a 17th place finish at Columbia and then a career-best 12th place showing at Greenville. But issues left Tatum with DNFs in his final two races, including a 29th in his final career race - Richmond.
