The 1965 Greenville 200 was a NASCAR Grand National Series event that was held on April 17, 1965, at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, South Carolina.

The transition to purpose-built racecars began in the early 1960s and occurred gradually over that decade. Changes made to the sport by the late 1960s brought an end to the "strictly stock" vehicles of the 1950s.

Race report

The track used would not be paved until the 1970 Greenville 200 race (which took place on June 27, 1970).[1][2] No record was ever released about the exact attendance numbers and it was the tenth race out of the fifty-five races during that year.[1][2] Two hundred laps were done on a dirt oval track spanning Шаблон:Convert.[1][2] The race took one hour and forty-five minutes to successfully complete with three cautions given out by NASCAR.[1][2] Notable speeds were: Шаблон:Convert for the average and Шаблон:Convert for the pole position speed (accomplished by Bud Moore).[1][2]

The winning vehicle was a 1965 Ford Galaxie driven by Dick Hutcherson; marking his first of 14 career wins in his NASCAR Cup Series career.[1][2][3] Other notable drivers included: Ned Jarrett, Buddy Baker, Wendell Scott, Neil Castles, Elmo Langley, Roy Tyner, and Cale Yarborough.[1][2]

A significant part of the field were individually owned vehicles with no formal sponsorship whatsoever.[4] Both Clyde Lynn and Cale Yarborough shared a single crew member for pit lane. Many drivers would run an entire race at slow speeds back then if they had no chance of winning. Usually, they get lapped before the sixth lap of the race, and eventually withdraw from the race for some reason.

The total prize purse for this racing event was $5,040 ($Шаблон:Inflation when adjusted for inflation). Hutcherson received $1,000 ($Шаблон:Inflation when adjusted for inflation) while the bottom 13 finishers split $100 apiece ($Шаблон:Inflation when adjusted for inflation).[5]
