A dream comes true at Daytona
by Bob Priddy, Contributing Editor
(NASCAR) Michael McDowell finally wins a NASCAR Cup race in his 358th start and he picks the NASCAR’s biggest race to do it.
McDowell drove between the two leaders of the Daytona 500 as they crashed on the final lap of the rain-delayed race to finish ahead of last year’s series champion Chase Elliott. McDowell, driving for one of the most prominent small-budget teams in the sport, had only three previous top-five finishes in his dozen years as a fulltime driver in the series.
