I found a race report on the Citrus 250 1969, which was probably one of Don's most notable race wins. On Friday of Daytona Speed week 1969, NASCAR held the first ever 250 race featuring the TRANS AM cars and the NASCAR GT cars. They ran on a 3.81 mile road course using turns 3 and 4 of the high banked oval. All types of drivers entered from USAC, NASCAR, and SCCA, including some big names such as Parnelli Jones, Bob Tullius, and Peter Gregg. Don Y was fastest qualifier and sat on the pole.
After Don took the checker flag he stopped and picked up his pit crew. They climbed on his Camaro and all drove to Victory Lane. This is from a race report in Stock Car Racing magazine May 69. In the text they state the car is a 1969 Camaro but it looks like Don's blue and white 68 Camaro racecar in the pictures.
