Former champs reflect on Daytona experiences
DAYTONA BEACH Three-time Daytona 500 champion Bobby Allison (1978, 1982, 1988), 1972 champion A.J. Foyt and 1985 champion Bill Elliott all agreed winning at Daytona jump-started their careers.
“I had won some NASCAR races, but not here,” Allison said before the 60th Daytona 500 on Sunday. “It made a tremendous difference in the way people treated me. Sponsors jumped up for me and all those kinds of things. It was really good.”
Foyt could barely put the feeling of winning the 1972 Daytona 500 into words.
Elliott said he’d won a few races in 1984, but Daytona was special.
“I hadn’t done a lot that point,” Elliott said.

“A fantastic feather in my cap for my career. Wouldn’t take anything in the world to for it.” today!”
