1969 24 Hours of Daytona

Dave Friedman has captured and preserved auto racing history through his own photography and his collection of works by other photographers. This image documents the race-day atmosphere surrounding the 1969 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race. An expected Porsche sweep vanished when all their factory cars failed to finish. A Roger Penske backed Lola, driven by Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons, finished first.
