Oreius, you seem to have achieved another first here.
The starting lineup for this race is EXACTLY THE SAME as in real life!
Not sure if it's the first time you've done it, but it's at least the first time for your IROC series!

Race 1
The IROC Series made their 1st stop of 1975 at the Michigan International Speedway, in Brooklyn, Michigan.
Ronnie Peterson led the field to the green flag as for the first time in the history of the IROC Series raced on the Michigan International Speedway as Peterson wrote his name in the history books by leading the first ever lap at the track. Peterson's stay up front would be short lived as both A.J. Foyt and Bobby Allison would trade the lead before Allison began to dominate the day, holding off a number of drivers from leading before his greatest challenger of the race, Cale Yarborough, drove up from his 8th starting spot and after a brief battle with Allison, Yarborough held off George Follmer and David Pearson in the final laps and scored the win.
Other Noticeables:
Cale Yarborough scored his 1st win of the year,
Yarborough led 2 times for 30 laps, including the final 29 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the IROC Series in his 1st start,
Cale Yarborough(1st), Jody Scheckter(5th), Ronnie Peterson(7th), Johnny Rutherford(11th) and Graham Hill(12th) made their IROC Series debuts,

Well, we got the starting order exactly right, but we can't say the same about the finishing order.
Cale Yarborough finished 2nd in the real race, while Bobby Unser (who finished 4th here) won.
