As the new decade started, the 1970 NASCAR Grand National season brought higher speeds and greater risks to the drivers. To lower speeds, NASCAR introduced a controversial restrictor plate mid-season. In the chart below, you will find the results of all 48 races of the 1970 NASCAR Grand National season.
 Pete Hamilton, a dashing youngster from Dedham, Mass., was hired by Petty Enterprises to campaign the #40 Superbird in major 1970 NASCAR events. See more pictures of NASCAR. |
