1. 1998 Daytona 500: Earnhardt wins the 500 has to be #1.
2. 2004 Daytona 500: Jr takes Daytona
3. 2002 Daytona summer race/2003 Daytona 500: Jr and Michale Waltrip each get a chance to cheer at Daytona as the finish to the 02 500 was overshadowed by Senior's passing.
4. The Bristol race where Terry Labonte crossed the finish line sideways
5. 1979 Daytona 500: The race that brought NASCAR to all of America. Nuff said
Honorable mention
1992 Hooters 500
The first 500 at the current facilities
Dale Jarrett's Daytona 500 win with his dad Ned in the television booth. You could literally hear the pride in Ned's voice
Jeff Gordon winning the inaugaral Brickyard 400.
Earnhardt coming back from 18th place with 6 laps left to win the race (I beleive it was at Talladega).

I would have to agree with you on this, however I would put the first ever Daytona 500 (at current facility) on the list. with 60 or more cars in the starting field at number 1, and remove the 1992 Hooters 550 and add the 2003 Dodge Dealers 500

Just a little reply to dodge69mopars answer. First off...Losing Dale Earnhardt was a tragic and very sad loss...I dont even see how that could be called one of the greatest races of all time...second how can you even call yourself a NASCAR fan if you cant get the damn date right. IT WAS IN 2001 WHEN DALE SR. DIED....get your facts right.
