Joe Gibbs says Daytona 500 win feels same as winning Super Bowl
- 8 years ago
Joe Gibbs knows more than most the feeling of winning premier sporting events.
He has won three Super Bowls as coach of the Washington Redskins.
He has won four Sprint Cup championships as an owner.
With Denny Hamlin's victory Sunday, he now has won two Daytona 500s.
Considering the first Daytona 500 win came 23 years ago with Dale Jarrett in the organization's second year of existence, Gibbs knows that winning the Daytona 500 is much like winning Super Bowl -- with a few big exceptions.
The race team is a much bigger operation with more than 500 employees, and it takes more financial support from just an owner to make it happen.
