1992 Daytona 500

The Daytona 500 by STP was held February 16 at Daytona International Speedway. This race was marred by "the Big One" on lap 92 which involved 15 cars including most of the main contenders (including polesitter Sterling Marlin, Ernie Irvan, Bill Elliott, Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace and Dale Earnhardt. This was the only caution of any real significant length. Because of this, only the top 6 finished the race on the lead lap. With the win, Davey Allison and Bobby Allison became the only father-son duo to win the Daytona 500.

*The car that A.J. Foyt ran in the race was actually Eddie Bierschwale's car after Foyt lost his only car in the 1st Twin 125.

Promotion

* Racing Champions ran a promotion for the race and gave out a 3-car gift set of the top 3 finishers, Davey Allison, Morgan Shepherd, and Geoff Bodine in a blister pack. There are some packs that came with errors that had Bodine listed in second but in the same order on the box. The package is considered rare today, but can still be found in some novelty shops.
