On a cold February day in 1979, when most of the Northeast was snowed in by a blizzard, NASCAR entered the American consciousness with a dramatic telecast of the Daytona 500. It was the first 500-mile race to be broadcast live on national television and featured the heroes and legends of the sport racing on a hallowed track. With one of the wildest finishes in sports history--a finish that was just the start of the drama--everything changed for what is now America's second most popular sport. About Author Mark Bechtel covered NASCAR for Sports Illustrated for nine years and is now a senior editor for the magazine. In addition, he wrote the narration for the 2004 movie NASCAR 3-D: The IMAX Experience.
