Classic NASCAR Daytona 500 race at Daytona International Speedway which was only a year old in 1960. The moonshine runner turned stock car racer, Junior Johnson, won the race by 23 seconds. Johnson's win earned him a whopping $19,600.00. This year Kevin Harvick won the Daytona 500 and took home $1,510,469.00. Of course Harvick's car cost more than the purse and he can't take it home and run 'shine in either!
