Victory by Yards!

July 7, 2014

NASCAR ace Bill Elliott opened the season at Daytona’s famous banked speedway in Florida earlier this month by averaging just under 198mph to win the 50-mile Busch Clash sprint race, a week prior to the Daytona 500.

The victory was worth $75,000 to Elliott, whose Ford Thunderbird edged out Geoff Bodine’s Chevrolet Monte Carlo by less than a length.
