Length: 3 and a half hours (scheduled for 3 hours)
The race was broadcast live and in full on WTBS, billed as the "Richmond 400".
The race ran longer than anticipated, due to 9 cautions, causing the broadcast to overrun it's timeslot by nearly a half-hour, signing off at 4:30 PM instead of 4:00 PM. This pre-empted some coverage of the Vitalis Track Meet.
