The 1967 Daytona 500 was run on February 26, 1967. Mario Andretti, better known for his accomplishments in open-wheel and USAC competition won his first and only NASCAR Grand National event. He ran in a Holman-Moody Ford. Thirty years later in 1997, his nephew John Andretti would win his first event in the Pepsi 400 (Winston Cup Series). This would be the only time that a person born outside the United States has ever won the Daytona 500.
