I am not a circle track guy, but I thought they raced cc and that exhaust would be on the right.

Exhaust exits out the right to keep fumes and noise away from the driver side.

I believe, based on the guard rail, that this was the track at Darlington. (One of my favorites). In those days the trick to get around turns 3-4 was to lay the rear bumper against the rail and power around. Hence "The Darlington stripe".
