🏁On May 4, 1975 the Winston 500 took place at the Alabama International Motor Speedway in Talladega, Alabama. The race was filled with several accidents and featured the first win for Buddy Baker since 1973 and the first Winston Cup Grand National win for team owner Bud Moore since 1971. Tragedy struck on Lap 149 when race leader Richard Petty pitted with a burning wheel bearing; his brother-in-law Randy Owens was killed when he fitted a hose to a pressurized water tank and the tank exploded.
