Sunday 7th March 1976

Dave Marcis took the lead from Richard Petty with 11 laps left to win the Richmond 400 at Richmond (Virginia, US.) Fairgrounds Raceway. Petty finished three car-lengths back in second place as the only other car on the lead lap as Bobby Allison took third place, a lap off the pace. The victory was the second of five in NASCAR’s top series for Marcis, who retired after the 2002 Daytona 500.
