Not a Javelin, and not NASCAR. Also, not a '70's vehicle.

Otherwise, you are quite correct.

This car has been referred to as an SCCA B/Production Corvette Killer and was racing for the National Championship when it bent a valve overevving due to a Corvette spin on the track and lost the championship by 7 seconds running on 7 cylinders.

It was Jim Pascal that raced the AMC Javelin in Nascar.  He did very well.  Won quite a few races.  Yes, Nascar had a pony car racing division.  Pascal was one of the best.
