This is the second of the factory Mustangs, although the car was actually owned by Grady Davis. The racing dentist Dr Dick Thompson drove the Mustang during the early part of the season, including here at Bryar, where he finished third. He decided to retire from racing following Round 8 at Continental Divide.

Following Thompson is Ed Leslie, driving one of the two Bud Moore run factory Mercury Cougars. The Cougars were usually driven by Parnelli Jones and Dan Gurney, but they had other commitments this weekend, and were replaced by Leslie and Peter Revson.
