The images in this collection are from the 1973 Atlanta 500 at Atlanta International Raceway in Hampton, Georgia. The race took place on April 1, 1973. Poor weather prevented the qualifying race from taking place. Gordon Johncock started from the pole because the field was set by performance during the 1972 seasons and practice speeds. David Pearson won the event by two laps over Bobby Isaac. Benny Parsons, Buddy Baker, and Cale Yarborough rounded out the top-five. The time of race was 3 hours, 34 minutes, and 52 seconds. The average speed was 139.351 mph. There were 23 lead changes and four cautions for 31 laps.
