A tale of two 21s: the Woods' last two Daytona wins

Hey, here's some fun: Let's compare the last two times the No. 21 visited victory lane at Daytona and see where the differences lie. First, Trevor Bayne's hold-off-the-dogs win on Sunday:

And below, David Pearson's epic battle with Richard Petty in 1976:

Pretty impressive, huh? Though fans of the good ol' days should note that Petty and Pearson were far enough ahead of the pack that Pearson still had time to win that race even after being spun. In 2011, he'd have finished about 20th.

Congrats, once again, to the Wood Brothers. For their sake, let's hope it's not another 35 years until their next Daytona win.
