| rdfs:comment | - The 1973 American 500 was a Winston Cup Series (now Nextel Cup) event held at North Carolina Speedway on October 21, 1973. It was the season finale. David Pearson dominated the race in route to his eleventh win of the year, leading 396 of the 492 laps and holding off Buddy Baker by one lap for the win. Benny Parsons, the underdog who suddenly found himself with the late-season championship lead, crashed early in the event. However, with the aid of fellow underfunded crews, Parsons returned to the track, finished 28th and held off Cale Yarborough (3rd) by sixty-seven points for the title. Stats
