Three drivers, including Petty and Beauchamp, appeared to have crossed the finish line at the same time, and one of the cars was actually blocking the official NASCAR photo finish camera, making the verdict difficult to determine.

Early soccer balls were made of leather patches sewn up with laces in a variety of patterns. The truncated icosahedron ball was introduced in 1970 by Adidas. It was called Telstar in honor of its resemblance to the satellite of the same name. The pattern of black and white shapes helps players read the spin of the ball in flight.

If there is not currently a place to install the skylight, measure and cut an appropriate-sized space in the ceiling and roof of the camper with an airsaw.
