Daytona at 50 — A Dangerous (?) Little Quiz
It is always problematic to go searching for the “best” or to look for the “greatest” in any genre. But here we go, even as we remember the old saw: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Our premise is simple:
Who are the five greatest drivers to ever race at Daytona?
As we count down to race week we will periodically reveal what our (rough) statistical analysis indicates for the past 50 years
We would love to receive your list

I'm going to play jailhouse lawyer. As your question is posed - greatest driver to race at Daytona - I would put both AJ Foyt and Mario Andretti in my five. They each won Daytona 500's and have overall career credentials in racing that put them in the class of Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon, who would make my list primarily from Daytona and NASCAR results. Good question.
