The 2004 Daytona 500 was held on February 15 at Daytona International Speedway. it was the first race under Nextel sponsorship. Greg Biffle won the pole, but had to start in the back however, after an engine change. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. passed Tony Stewart on Lap 181 and held him off in the remaining laps to win his first Daytona 500, six years to the day after his father won his first and only Daytona 500, and just three years after the Daytona 500 that took his life. There were 4 cautions, one of the wildest occurred in a 11-car melee when Michael Waltrip, Brian Vickers, and Johnny Sauter got together on the backstretch, and Michael Waltrip barrel rolled 3 times. After The Big One the race was completed without further interruption. Late in the race, rookie Scott Wimmer of Bill Davis Racing only took on right-side tires, elevating him from a likely 7th or 8th place finish to a chance to win. Unfortunately he had no drafting parter and was caught up by the faster Stewart and Earnhardt, who passed the Hoosier with 20 laps to go.
