1st Daytona 500

Feb 22 1959 saw Lee Petty defeats Johnny Beauchamp in a photo finish at the just-opened Daytona International Speedway in Florida to win the first-ever Daytona 500. 

The race was so close that Beauchamp was initially named the winner by William France, the owner of the track and head of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR).

However, Petty, who was driving a hardtop Oldsmobile 88, challenged the results and three days later, with the assistance of news photographs, he was officially named the champ.

There was speculation that France declared Beauchamp the winner in order to intentionally stir up controversy and generate publicity for his new race track.

How many of you will either be glued to the TV or attending a Daytona 500 this Sunday?

Washington DC old post office to become a luxury hotel

It’s official! 

Washington DC’s landmark old post office is going to be re-developed as a luxury hotel. 

And it will be a Donald Trump hotel! 

I just hope that they keep the free ride to the top of the tower. It is one of DC’s great free attractions!
