1960 NASCAR Grand National Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from 1960 NASCAR Cup Series)

The 1960 NASCAR Grand National season was the 12th season of professional stock car racing in the United States.[1] Emanuel Zervakis was disqualified upon post-race inspection for the April 17 race due to an oversized fuel tank. This would be the last disqualification of a driver who had won the race on the track until 2022.[2]
