    Atlanta 11-5-78

    You can imagine Donnie's surprise, disbelief and frustration when he got to Victory Lane after winning the Dixie 500 at Atlanta International Speedway on Nov. 5, 1978 and being told that they were expecting Richard Petty instead because he had at first been credited with the win.

    Atlanta 11-5-78 2

    When Donnie and Hoss posed for this picture with the trophy in Victory Lane after the 1978 Dixie 500 at Atlanta International Raceway, they hadn't even officially been declared the winner of the race yet. A scoring fiasco resulted in Richard Petty initially being declared the winner to end a 42-race winless streak. But after several hours, several recounts and quite a few harsh words, it was sorted out and Donnie was declared the winner. It was win No. 10 for him and the last of his illustrious NASCAR Winston Cup career.
