If Dale Earnhardt was the champion of Daytona in his day, than Tony Stewart is the champion of Daytona today. This race was the start of Tony's reign in Daytona in the Nationwide Series. In all he has won 7 races at Daytona International Speedway in a Nationwide Series car. That is not including his 3 other wins at Daytona in a Sprint Cup Series car. But, despite his overwhelming success at the track he still hasn't won the Daytona 500.
