Sunday 25th February 1968
The 1968 Daytona 500 race saw a duel involving Cale Yarborough and Lee Roy Yarbrough. For much of the day, both drivers traded the lead. With 5 laps to go, Yarborough made a successful slingshot pass on the third turn to take the lead from Yarbrough and never look back as he won his first Daytona 500 by 1.3 seconds.
