New Car Puts Stock Look Back Into NASCAR Starting At Daytona
The so-called “glory days” of stock car racing featured race cars that looked just like the 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 that Dad – make that, Grandpa – drove as the family car. Drivers such as Fearless Fred Lorenzen would burn up the track in the Daytona 500 in this model of car to take the checkered flag in 1965. Or for the Richard Petty fans, the elaborate Mopar creations that “King Richard” drove to six of his record seven Daytona 500 victories from 1964-81.

The 1993 Indianapolis 500
Emerson Fittipaldi led only 16 laps as one of 12 drivers who paced the 1993 event at one stage or another, but the all-important lap number 200 was included among them as the two-time Formula One World Champion from Brazil held off nine other drivers in a frantic sprint to the checkered flag following a late-race caution period. Immediately behind Fittipaldi at the finish were pole-sitter Arie Luyendyk, defending World Champion Nigel Mansell, Raul Boesel and another World Champion and former winner, Mario Andretti. The track had been slightly reconfigured with the installation of a separated “warm-up” lane and 24 of the 33 starters were still running at the end.
