There is a FB page on Marlboro Speedway that has some incredible vintage photographs by Bill Dobbins.

I'll post some select pages from the copy of the 1967 Trans-Am race at Marlboro that I have in my collection.

Notice how the negative was flipped on the cover.

A page dedicated to Team Cougar.

Unfortunately, David Pearson ended up not being able to make it.

The Marlboro 300 was a 5 hour race with two drivers per car so the Cougars were Peter Revson/Ed Leslie with NASCAR drivers Cale Yarborough and Lee Roy Yarbrough in the other. Neither finished.

Titus and Jim Adams were third in the Terlingua Mustang but Donohue and Craig Fisher dominated in the Penske Camaro.
