Davey Allison – 1992 Daytona 500 winner
February 16, 1992 the 34th running of the “Great American Race”
Overcast sky’s greeted a huge crowd for the 1992 Daytona 500. This was the beginning of a year long fan appreciation tour from Richard Petty. Petty would finish 16th in today’s race. Sterling Marlin won the pole with a qualifying lap of 192.213 mph and his team mate Bill Elliott who started on the front row outside. Marlin was up for a 180,000 dollar bonus if he could win this race. Just after 60 laps the yellow flag came out due to rain. More like a mist, it didn’t last long and they were back racing again. 1992 Daytona 500 winner…
