As an owner-driver of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing entry from 2009-2016, Tony Stewart hoisted a pair of NASCAR Cup Series race trophies at Daytona International Speedway – including a 2009 victory in the summer 400-miler from pole position. But the NASCAR Hall of Famer – who has 16 Daytona trophies – from a combination of victories in the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and IROC – never won the DAYTONA 500. His closest finish in 17 DAYTONA 500 starts was a lone runner-up effort coming in 2004, when he finished .273-second behind Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ironically, Stewart carried the No. 14 in honor of his racing hero, A.J. Foyt who drove the No. 14 to DAYTONA 500 glory in 1972 – the only time that number has visited Victory Lane in the Great American Race.
Tune-in to the 2026 DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, February 15 at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
