1997 Daytona 500

In 1997, Jeff Gordon beat out a field of veterans--including Bill Elliot and Dale Earnhardt, Sr.--on his way to becoming the youngest driver ever to win the Daytona 500. Then 25 years old, he put on a show for the ages and brought a smile to the face of leukemia-stricken team owner Rick Hendrick. The original CBS broadcast of one of NASCAR's most exciting and dramatic moments is presented here in sharp digital video and without commercials.
