Fuel injection
Paul Goldsmith, Tiny Lund and Buck Baker would dominate the laps prior to the accident. The victory of Buck Baker over second-place finisher Curtis Turner would demonstrate the power of the 1957 Chevrolet.

Fuel injection did not become legal in what is now known as the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series until the 2012 season.
