During the first of two 50-lap qualifying races for the Firecracker 400, a Lap 3 pileup erupted involving some of the big-name stars. Exiting Turn 4, race leader Paul Goldsmith (#25) lost control in front of second-place Darel Dieringer (#16). Several cars were involved; Fred Lorenzen (#28) slamming the front of Goldsmith's car in the driver's side. Johnny Rutherford (#0) and Buck Baker (#3) were also collected, but suffered minimal damage.

Lorenzen and Goldsmith were out for the next day's 400, with Lorenzen suffering a severed wrist tendon and multiple bruises. Goldsmith walked away with minimal injury.


Both drivers failed to race in the day of the 400 due to both vehicles being unable to be repaired in time for the race.
