16. Hey! Hey there buddy, the Daytona 500 is today

They postponed it yesterday due to rain. Who drives in the rain right?

Speaking of weather - the 1979 Daytona 500 and snow. If you know this story you can skip the rest.

In February 1979 a massive snowstorm hit almost all of the east coast. There were only 3 TV stations as you know so it was NASCAR, probably golf, and some movie rerun. Nowhere to go…click on the TV. The largest audience ever watched the race. It was a tight race AND Cale Yarborough and Bobbie Allison got into a fistfight after the race live on national TV. How perfectly American. What was a local specific almost hobby sport became national and sponsors realized exactly who was watching and how brand loyal they were. Boom.
