The 1970 NASCAR Grand National Series season began on Sunday January 18 and ended on Sunday November 22. Bobby Isaac was the champion of the series as NASCAR transitioned from the Grand National era to the Winston Cup era. Only one foreigner was racing that year, a Canadian named Frog Fagan (who finished 96th in the championship standings). It was also the last NASCAR national touring series season to feature a dirt track race until the 2013 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and the last time the Cup series raced on dirt until the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series.
The 1970 Daytona 500 was a stock car automobile race run on February 22, 1970, and was the second race for the winged Plymouth Superbird. Pete Hamilton won the race in a Plymouth Superbird.
The 1970 Rebel 400 was a NASCAR Grand National Series race that took place in May 1970 at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina. David Pearson won the race in 3:05:07. Richard Petty had a huge crash on the homestretch, which inspired the window net that is now mandated by NASCAR.
The 1970 American 500 was a 500-mile race that took place on November 15, 1970, at the North Carolina Motor Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina. Cale Yarborough was the winner of the race.
The 1970 Tidewater 300 was the final NASCAR race held during its Grand National era. Held at the Langley Field Speedway in Hampton, Virginia (.395 mile paved oval track), the race was decided in a time of one hour and forty minutes with Bobby Allison as the race winner. There were 2 cautions (for 10 laps) and 3,200 people attended this race.
