Bill Elliott leads 136 of the 200 laps in dominating the Daytona 500. Elliott dominates Daytona's Speedweeks, winning the pole at more than 205 mph and nearly lapping the field in the Twin 125-mile qualifier.
Bill Elliott emerged as a bona fide superspeedway hero in the 1985 NASCAR Winston Cup season. Elliott won 11 superspeedway races in 1985, still a single-season record.

The intricacies of the NASCAR points system rewarded consistency in 1985.
