Daytona 500 Spotlight Sunday - 2014 Daytona 500

Every Sunday from now until the Sunday of the Daytona 500 Qualifying we will have a special Spotlight Sunday featuring a Recap of past Daytona 500's. This Sunday's Recap will be from the very Wet and Wild 2014 Daytona 500. Along with Daytona 500 Spotlight Sunday we will also have Daytona 500 Statistics Sunday/
In 2014 The season would begin with a wet and wild race from the Daytona International Speedway. Rain came around the begining of the race and would delay the race until the evening hours where Mother Nature took a back seat view of the 56th annual Daytona 500. Tornados, Wrecks, and a Piece of Barebond could not stop Dale Earnhardt Jr. from getting his first win since Michigan in 2012.
