Why This Ticket Matters
The April 19, 1964 Gwyn Staley 400 was contested over 400 laps at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Fred Lorenzen dominated from the pole, leading 368 laps to win, while Richard Petty finished seventh during the season in which he captured his first NASCAR championship.
North Wilkesboro became one of stock-car racing’s most storied short tracks, and this ticket comes from the year Petty emerged as NASCAR’s leading star. With Petty’s autograph noted in the listing, it links an early championship season to the driver who would become “The King.”
