Why Dodge Won the 1969 Talladega 500
Tire Wars Helped Kill the Aero Wars
When we look back at the 1969 Talladega 500 and note that it was the first race ever for the new Dodge Daytona and it won the race, one important fact is missing. There were no Ford Talladega’s or Spoiler II’s on the track! The only thing bigger than the Aero Wars on that day was the Tire Wars. All the big name drivers and cars boycotted the race with the exception of two Dodge Daytona’s.
