Abstract

The article focuses on the victory of Lee Roy Yarbrough in the Daytona 500 stock car race held at the Daytona International track in Florida in February 1969. He has defeated Charlie Glotzbach, whom he trailed for the previous 14 laps. Don MacTavish of New York died a day before the event after he lost control of his vehicle. The decision of Yarbrough to make a move at the entrance of the third turn has led to his victory.
