The 1949-02 was a Strictly Stock (now Sprint Cup) event held at the Daytona Beach Road Course on July 10, 1949. Gober Sosebee dominated the race, leading 34 of the 40 laps, but had late issues that put him to 8th. Red Byron would go by, leading the other six laps in route to a one-minute, fifty-one second victory on Tim Flock. For Byron, the eventual season champion, it was his first career victory. Stats
