Top 5 greatest moments in the history of "The Real NASCAR Championship". i say Real NASCAR Championship cause the race is the original super speedway race.

1. 1979-Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough exchange fists after they crash on the final lap.
2. 1959-Lee Petty wins first race(photo finish)
3. 1998-Dale finally wins it
4. 1988-Father Bobby Allison beats son Davey
5. 1989-Darrel Waltrip won the Daytona 500 and dances the ickey shuffle.
 
For me it was probably 76. Petty literally feet away from the finish could not get his car restarted and Person, who also had a badly damaged car, comes from way back to limp over the finish line for a win. I can still remember that.
 
2011 the Monday night Daytona race was awesome. Also cool seeing Trevor Bayne win 2010.
 
correction: the monday primetime race was 2012(the one with montoya hitting the maintenance truck) and bayne's win was 2011
