1992 Daytona 500 - Promotion & Aftermath

Promotion & Aftermath

  • Racing Champions ran a promotion for the race and gave out a 3-car gift set of the top 3 finishers, Davey Allison, Morgan Shepherd, and Geoff Bodine in a blister pack. There are some packs that came with errors that had Bodine listed in second but in the same order on the box. The package is considered rare today, but can still be found in some novelty shops.
  • Richard Petty ran a promotion where he ran a diecast car of each race he ran in 1992 season, including the Daytona 500.
  • A.J. Foyt ran diecast cars for both the Daytona 500 and his final Indy 500 that year.
  • The winning car Davey Allison used was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson car auction complete with the winning driver's trophy and driving uniform.

Famous quotes containing the words promotion and/or aftermath:

    I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
