Claim: Thirty drivers qualified in the 1970 Tidewater 300 event of the NASCAR Grand National Series, which resulted in losses for drivers on US-based General Motors cars.
Evidence: Grid The 1970 Tidewater 300 was a NASCAR Grand National Series event that was held on Sunday, November 22, 1970, at Langley Field Speedway in Hampton, Virginia. The race car drivers who used General Motors vehicles would be humiliated at the end of the race because they failed to win any races during the 1970 NASCAR Grand National Series season. This was the biggest racing grid of any race on the site at Langley with 30 drivers competing at the start.
