LaJoie, however, posted the fastest lap in the final practice. Among those failing to make the race were 1997 American Speed Association champion Kevin Cywinski, Bobby Hillin, Patty Moise, Jimmy Foster and J.D. Gibbs, the son of Stewart's team owner. Flock, who is fighting cancer, will be inducted at his home. Flock's son, Don, said his father has elected not to have chemotherapy because doctors say the treatment would be of limited benefit. A trust fund has been established.
Fans are an imaginative bunch.
A magic device that propelled Earnhardt to victory, no doubt. Once Earnhardt's car got to Victory Lane, it became the property of the Daytona USA museum. The museum wouldn't let Earnhardt take a lucky penny off the dashboard, or even his favorite sunglasses he had left in the car. The inspection of Ken Schrader's Chevrolet did take a while, though. Wallace had been drafting Allen's Pontiac as Wallace tried to catch Robert Pressley for the final transfer spot into the Daytona 500.
