2008 will mark 50 year of the Daytona 500. Tell me which is one your favorite and why. I know some are going to say 1998 when Dale Sr. won. Let put that one aside. Pick another one please.

1976 where David Pearson and Richard Petty were beating and banging on each other. Right before the finish line they wrecked and the King's car died about 30 feet or so short. The Silver Fox limped across the finish line for the win. Another great one was where they had the big Allison family/Cale Yarborough fight in the infield after the end of the race. Bobby jumped in and the only thing he can remember was Cale's FACE hitting his fist over and over. Too funny.

All the ones Jeff Gordon won.
My favorite Daytona race though is when Jr. won the Pepsi 400 after Sr. passed away.

Its hard to pick one 1976, 1979, 1998 if I had to pick one it would be 1959 Lee Petty and Johnny Beauchamp battling to the end and it took Three days for Lee Petty to be declared the winner been going to daytona when they raced on the beach hard to pick one

Maybe 2004 when Jr took the checkered flag but sorry, '98 is the one.

After 98, I would have to say 2002.
Those around then will remember: Sterling, get Back in the Car!

As much as I like the classics, this year's race was the best.
Very, very close finish with all hell breaking loose behind them. Won't ever forget about that.

This years because Jr finished 32nd! Which was actually one of his best finishes of the year! LOL
