DAYTONA 500

Fifty years later, the Daytona 500 is NASCAR’s biggest, richest and most prestigious race.

“The Great American Race,” which traditionally hosts a sell out crowd, has the biggest total payout in prize money for any motorsports event in the United States, surpassing the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. The 2007 Daytona 500 posted awards exceed more than $18 million with race winner Kevin Harvick pocketing more than $1.5 million.

The perks of winning the Daytona 500 are more than just collecting the largest payout in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series or hoisting the prestigious Harley J. Earl trophy. Winning stock car racing’s greatest prize also brings fame and fortune.

?It’s the ultimate race,? said three-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon following his 2005 Daytona 500 victory. ?There?s just no better place to win at than Daytona. You know the sport?s getting more competitive. It?s getting bigger and it?s just one of those races if you pick one, this is the one you want to win.?

Traditionally, following a victory in the Daytona 500, the winner goes on a whirlwind media tour that includes visits to New York City and Los Angeles with appearances on such a high-profile shows like ?Late Show with David Letterman? and ?Live with Regis and Kelly.?
In addition, the Daytona 500 winning car rests inside Daytona 500 Experience, ?The Official Attraction of NASCAR,? for a year for race fans to view and the winning driver has his hand prints, right foot and autograph immortalized in cement at the Daytona 500 Champion?s Walk Of Fame.
