Despite being held during the 1963 calendar year, this race was considered to be the first race in the 1964 Grand National season. The silly season between the 1963 and 1964 seasons was only seven days unlike the twelve weeks that the drivers enjoy today.

Ned Jarrett (Dale Jarrett's father) defeated his opponent Joe Weatherly by twelve seconds. Speeds were relatively slow by today's standards; the average speed was 56.897 mi km per hour while the pole position speed was 69.257 mi km per hour. Petty Enterprises was called "Petty Engineering Co." during the early-1960s and the car owner for the No. 41, 42, and 43 cars during the 1964 season was Lee Petty. A balanced combination of corporate multi-car teams and individual owners were recorded on the race log for this event. http://www.driveraverages.com/nascar_stats/race.php?sked_id=1964001 1964 Textile 250 team information Driver Averages 2014-04-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20140220070637/http://www.driveraverages.com/nascar_stats/race.php?sked_id=1964001 2014-02-20 dead Despite the word International being added to the race track; there were no foreign competitors to this race. https://books.google.com/books?id=hrbAEBnGgS4C&dq=%22Textile+250%22+1964&pg=PT238 Silent Speedways of the Carolinas 9781476602615 2018-09-07 Wood Perry Allen 16 October 2012 McFarland The typical American passenger vehicle of the 21st century can legally drive up to 90 mi km on some rural roads. This would make today's passenger vehicles faster than the stock cars of this era (which were supposed to represent advancements in automobile technology). However, many safety features adopted in these early stock cars would be used in passenger vehicles that were made years and even decades later. 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. While the race was underway, the track came apart and certain parts of the track were covered with dust. Notable racers that didn't finish in the top ten included: Buck Baker, Bill Widenhouse, Roy Tyner, Wendell Scott, Junior Johnson, Neil Castles and Jimmy Massey. Toy Bolton would make his NASCAR Cup Series debut in this race. While this would be his only race of the 1964 season, he would return for the 1966 season. Three thousand people attended this live racing event as of the start of the race. Due to the low-level interest of the sport outside the North Carolina region during this era, the event was completely untelevised. The fastest finishing positions for each manufacturer were: Ford (1st), Pontiac (2nd), Plymouth (3rd), Dodge (4th), Chevrolet (8th), Mercury (9th), and Chrysler (24th). This would be Hubert Westmoreland's last race as a car owner and the first Southern 500 winning owner went out before his driver Jimmy Massey could complete a lap. Massey would have his final race as a NASCAR Grand National Series driver at this event. Scoring was done for the 1964 NASCAR Grand National Series using a "base" number, that is the 25th position was the base since anyone finishing lower than 25th received the same number of points as 25th position. By the conclusion of the 1964 NASCAR Grand National Series season, a total of 16 different points schemes were used. Ned Jarrett walked away from the event with the winner's purse of $1,350 ($ when adjusted for inflation). John Ervin was the winning crew chief for this racing event; he would go on to win 28 races during the 1964 and 1965 NASCAR Cup Series seasons. http://www.race-database.com/results/results.php?year=1964&race=1&series_id=2 1964 Textile 250 winning crew chief information Race Database 2014-04-16 http://www.race-database.com/crewchief/crewchief.php?crewchief_id=Ervin Crew chief career information for John Ervin Race Database 2014-04-16 Other notable crew chiefs in the race were Jimmy Helms, Frank McMillion, Dale Inman, Wendell Scott, Ralph Gray, Skip Adams, and Bob Cooper. https://www.racing-reference.info/entrylist/1964-01/W/C 1964 Textile 250 crew chiefs information Racing Reference 2018-08-31 The last finisher to get a monetary award was Darel Dieringer who received $50 ($ when adjusted for inflation) for finishing in 22nd place (out of twenty-six competitors).
