Donohue also won the real race, and he ended up as 1974 IROC champion! But can he do it here as well?

Yes, there really were six cars in this race. And oddly enough, the starting lineup you see here is an exact replica of the finishing order of the real race.

Mark Donohue led the field to the green flag as for the first time in the history of the IROC Series raced on the Daytona Road Course as Donohue was looking to win back-to-back events and lock up his first IROC Championship. Donohue came into Daytona having led the most laps, the most wins and when he didn't win his worst finish was 8th and once again proved he was one of the best road course racers in the world, keeping the other five drivers behind him all race long and for the third time led every single lap and scored not only the win and leading 85 out of the 115 laps on the season but wrote his name in the history books by becoming the first ever IROC Series Champion.

And the finishing order isn't quite the same as in real life. Only two drivers (Donohue and Follmer) finished in their real life positions.
