* The Shortest '500': The Daytona 500 has never been rained out, and Sunday's 109-lap race was only the fourth in history not run to 500 miles. Here's the history of the abbreviated events:
1965 - 332.5 miles - Rain - Fred Lorenzen
1966 - 495 miles - Rain - Richard Petty
1974 - 450 miles - Shortened due to U.S. energy shortage - Richard Petty
2003 - 272.5 miles - Rain - Michael Waltrip.(ThatsRacin.com)(2-17-2003)
 
Kind of a neat picture.
