List of Daytona 500 winners (Johnsonverse)

This is a list of Daytona 500 winners. The Daytona 500 is a 500-mile-long (805 km) NASCAR RCA Cup Series motor race held annually at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is one of ten restrictor plate races on the Cup schedule. The first Daytona 500 was held in 1959, coinciding with the opening of the speedway, and from 1982 to 1990, it was the season-opening race of the Cup series.
The Daytona 500 is regarded as the most important and prestigious race on the NASCAR calendar, carrying by far the largest purse. Championship points awarded are equal to that of any other NASCAR Cup race. It is also the series' second race of the year; this phenomenon is virtually unique in sports, which tend to have championships or other major events at the end of the season rather than the start. Since 1995, U.S. television ratings for the Daytona 500 have been the highest for any auto race of the year, surpassing the traditional leader, the Indianapolis 500 which in turn greatly surpasses the Daytona 500 in in-track attendance and international viewing. The 2006 Daytona 500 attracted the sixth largest average live global TV audience of any sporting event that year with 20 million viewers.
The event serves as the final event of Speedweeks and is sometimes referred to as "The Great American Race" or the "Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing". All 64 Daytona 500s since the first race in 1959 have been held in February. Since 1971, it has been associated with Presidents Day weekend, taking place on the Sunday before the third Monday in February.
The winner of the Daytona 500 is presented with the Harley J. Earl Trophy in Victory Lane, and the winning car is displayed, in race-winning condition, for one year at Daytona 500 Experience, a museum and gallery adjacent to Daytona International Speedway. Kyle Busch is the race's incumbent champion after winning it in 2023.

† – Andretti was born in a part of Italy that is now in Croatia, but became a naturalized American citizen. He remains the only foreign-born driver to win the race. 
‡ – Record for fastest Daytona 500 at set by Buddy Baker in 1980. 
1 – Originally started 39th, but had to go back to the 43rd position due to changing to a backup car after crashing in the qualifying races. A driver who crashes during the qualifying race and goes to a backup car, or after 2003, changes an engine between the first practice after the qualifying race and the Daytona 500, is relegated to the rear of the field. 
2 – Originally started 21st, but had to go back to the 39th position due to failing multiple inspections.
The following races were shortened:
*1965: 332.5 miles (133 laps) because of rain.
*1966: 495 miles (198 laps) because of rain.
*1974: 450 miles (180 laps) Race scheduled for 90% distance in response to the 1973 oil crisis; scoring began on lap 21.
*2003: 272.5 miles (109 laps) because of rain.
*2009: 380 miles (152 laps) because of rain.
The following races were lengthened because of the green–white–checker finish. Note that from 2004 through 2009, only one attempt was permitted in NASCAR Cup Series racing. From 2010 to 2016, a maximum of three attempts were permitted. Since 2017, an unlimited number of attempts are permitted
*2005: 507.5 miles (203 laps)
*2006: 507.5 miles (203 laps)
*2007: 505 miles (202 laps)
*2010: 520 miles (208 laps) (two attempts — Lap 203 & Lap 207; This was the first time a NASCAR Cup Series race used the green-white-checker format 2 times to finish a race)
*2011: 520 miles (208 laps) two attempts  — Lap 203 & Lap 207
*2012: 505 miles (202 laps) one attempt
*2015: 507.5 miles (203 laps) one attempt
*2018: 517.5 miles (207 laps) one attempt

One race has been rescheduled from its original date:
*2020: Rescheduled from February 16 to February 17 at 4 p.m. because of rain. (This marks the first time the Daytona 500 was moved to Monday, and the first night-time Daytona 500 race.)
