The 1960-01 was a Grand National (now Nextel Cup) event held at Southern States Fairgrounds on November 8, 1959. Despite the '59 date, it was the 1960 season opener. Jack Smith started the year off right, leading 67 of the 200 laps in route to a convincing lap and a half victor over Bob Welborn. Rex White started his championship season with a 14th place showing.
