Race Notes

Dale Jarrett claims another Daytona 500 win.

Jarrett becomes the 4th driver to win 3 or more of the showcase event after a late re-start with 4 to go shuffles surprise leader Johnny Benson back. Benson appeared poised to make a 2-tire gamble on his final stop pay off, holding off a pack of Fords, but Jarrett makes a decisive move when the race goes green again with 4 laps remaining.

Jeff Burton trails Jarrett home for 2nd, while Bill Elliott rebounds from falling back in the pack in the middle portions to claim 3rd. Benson finishes 12th after leading 39 straight laps before Jarrett overtakes him late.
