Race #1 - Bold City 200
The Grand National East Series made their 1st stop of 1972 at the Speedway Park, in Jacksonville, Florida, for the Bold City 200.
With NASCAR'S decision to shorten it's Cup schedule to 30 events for 1972 and cut tracks less then 250 miles, a brand new series was inaugurated; the Grand National East Series. Bob Williams but it would be Jimmy Vaughn who would write his name in the history books as leading the first ever lap in series history. For much of the races the drivers gave the fans in attendance a great showing as battles for the lead happened nearly all race long as James Hylton would lead much of the first one hundred laps but just after the halfway mark a new challenger arrived: the #95 of Charlie Blanton.
Despite being in a early spin with John Sears, Blanton was able to rebound and took the lead and led for much of the final laps but due to lap traffic, Wendell Scott was able to catch up and passed Blanton with one lap to go. With both drivers battling side-by-side for the next lap but in Turn 3 and 4 the slow car of John Sears slowed Scott down and allowing Blanton to pass by and becoming the first ever driver to win in series history.
Other Noticeables:
Charlie Blanton scored his 1st win of the year,
Blanton led 4 times for 91 laps, including the final lap,
It was the 1st win of his career in the Grand National East Series in his 1st start,

Race #2 - Hickory 276

After a successful debut at Speedway Park, the NASCAR Grand National East Series made it's second ever stop of the season at the almost half mile at Hickory. Dave Marcis led the field to the green flag and would keep a hold of it until the lone caution of the day, pit stops happened, which allowed for Bobby Allison to take the lead. No one knew it at the time, but as soon as Allison took the lead, the race was over, as he used his past experience on short tracks and was never passed on track, losing the lead only during the last round of pit stops, easily leading 232 of the 276 laps, to score a dominating win.
Other Noticeables:
