The highlight of the NASCAR Cup Series season is the annual running of the Daytona 500 at the famed Daytona International Speedway.
The race has produced some of the most dramatic and historic moments in NASCAR history, with many of the sport’s all-time best taking the checked flag in the Great American Race.
It’s only fitting that “The King” Richard Petty holds the record for most all-time wins in the Daytona 500 with 7 victories. Other drivers with multiple wins include: Cale Yarborough (4), Bobby Allison (3), Dale Jarrett (3), Jeff Gordon (3), Denny Hamlin (3), Bill Elliott (2), Sterling Marlin (2), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (2), Michael Waltrip (2), Jimmie Johnson (2) and Matt Kenseth (2).
