The souped-up cars of Southern moonshiners outrunning the feds during Prohibition has given way to the high performance machines on today's racing ovals, but courage, skill and a rebellious spirit remain at the heart of the stock car tradition. Travel back to some of the most memorable and heart-pounding moments in the history of stock car racing: Greg Biffle's thrilling three-wide pass to take the checkered flag by a fraction of a second at the 2005 Ford 400, The tragic death of racing legend Dale Earnhardt Sr. in a crash at the 2001 Daytona 500, Terry Labonte's sideways slide across the finish line at the rain-soaked 1995 Goody's 500, The infamous 1979 track-slide fistfight at the Daytona 500 between fan favorite Cale Yarborough and brothers Bobby and Donnie Allison, The return of the Petty-Pearson rivalry at the 1976 Daytona 500, ending in a last-lap crash with Pearson's car crawling to finish first, David "Silver Fox" Pearson's cat-and-mouse game with Richard Petty for the checkered flag at the 1974 Firecracker 400, Lee Petty's win at the 1959 Daytona 500, a photo finish that took officials over 60 hours to decide a winner, The 1950 Southern 500 that led to the fame of the Darlington Raceway, the legendary track built in a farmer's field and given an odd shape to accommodate a fishing hole, The first-ever official stock car race held at the Charlotte Speedway in 1949, organized by NASCAR founder "Big Bill" France.
