Dan Gurney pushed his car the last quarter mile.......heart breaker.....
pushing his car got a disqualification....after 12 hours of racing.....
may have took third otherwise ...would have won it.........he had set a course record earlier in the day. Fords still took 1 2 3.
In the interview, Gurney says the car stopped running........that sounds to me like he ran out of gas.

Just stopped running?
At that point nothing could be done anyway...and I certainly would not say that there was anything wrong with the car since I might like to drive for FORD again.

At one point back when the Daytona 24 was sponsored by Prestolite battery,,,,the speedway had it written into the rules that you could power your car in gear across the finish line, using the electric starter motor,
which they may have presumed to be a Prestolite battery lol
