Answer 1

The closest finish in the history of the American Race is arguably the first race in 1959, or the 2007 race. In the 1959 race, it took 3 days for the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing to declare Lee Petty as the winner. In 2007, Kevin Harvick edged out Mark Martin at the finish line to win by 0.02 seconds or two-one-hundredths of a second. To see the video of the finish just click on the link below.
