James Hylton says this will be his final Daytona 500 bid.
The 73-year-old almost made it last year, but missed the mark with a flat tire in one of the Duels stopped that run.
If you will recall, Hylton was the 1966 Rookie of the Year and made an attempt in 2007 to be the oldest participant in the Daytona 500.
Wouldn’t it be cool if he made it this year, with it being the 50th anniversary of the Great American Race and all?
I look at it like this. Most people shouldn’t drive at the age of 73, but Hylton doesn’t seem to have a problem on the track. Well, except that flat tire thing last year.
I’ll be pulling for him to make the race, how about you?
