Second place went to Kevin Harvick who started 32nd, third place was A.J. Allmendinger who started 20th, fourth place was Clint Bowyer who started 22nd and in the fifth position was Elliott Sadler he started 30th.  Dale Jr. Had an incident with Brian Vickers.  Looks like Jr went low to pass Vickers and Vickers blocked way down to the yellow line and Jr. didn’t care for that to much or he had such a run on him that they touched and sent Vickers in to the big one.  2009 Daytona 500 winner – Matt Kenseth…

I am proud to bring you this site, after many years of wondering who won the Daytona 500 in a certain year or how many times did Richard Petty win?  I thought I couldn’t possibly be the only one that has a need for a site like this.  So I made it.  If you found this site useful, please link to us or mention us on your racing related web site or social media.  Thank you very much.
