AUTO RACING Perfect Storm: The 500 and fight that changed NASCAR forever

BY MARK LONG The Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The first break came with the massive blizzard that wreaked havoc on the East Coast, essentially locking television viewers in their homes. The Daytona 500, meanwhile, was to be broadcast live in its entirety for the first time, reach- ing markets that knew little, if anything, about stock car racing. The 3 1/2-hour event finished in stunning fashion, another fortunate turn that featured a muddy, bloody brawl a few hundred yards from the finish line. It was NASCAR's version of a perfect storm. And it changed the sport forever. "It was just a storybook day," Hall of Fame driver Dar- rell Waltrip said. "It started off almost as a disaster, but it ended up like a big, old soap opera." Thanks to a landmark television deal with CBS, a winter storm that stranded a large portion of the country and a spectacular ending involving several top drivers — including Richard Petty, Cale Yarbor- ough and brothers Bobby and Donnie Allison — the 1979 AP FILE PHOTO Daytona 500 was instrumental Timmonsville native Cale Yarborough, right, kicks and pushes Bobby Allison, center, who is catching his leg as his brother Donnie, left, tries to in broadening racing's south- pull his brother free from the fight which started after Yarborough collided with Donnie on the last lap of the 1979 Daytona 500, taking them ern roots.
