The first Daytona 500, in 1959, where it took 3 days to determine the winner. Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner but then after 3 days of studying the photograph as they crossed the finish line Lee Petty got the victory. It was great PR and created an instant legend for Daytona International Raceway. They didn't have the timing system that is now used to determine finishes. Even in the race you mention you can look at the picture and see pretty clearly who crossed the line first.

i could could desire to declare that the closest, and doubtless the main dramatic end, in NASCAR historic past become on the 2003 Carolina stay sparkling of sellers 4 hundred (at Darlington), on March sixteen, 2003. Ricky Craven gained over Kurt Busch via .002 seconds. What made the end even greater beneficial become them racing to the end line on an identical time as bumping and grinding their automobiles into one yet another each and each of ways up the front stretch. It become completely amazing.

If it's not that one, then it's Lee Petty's 1959 Daytona win. Jamie Mac's win in the Pepsi 400 this year was definitely the closest of 2007.
