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:

    Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

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