How to play the Daytona 500 winners timeline

Each card is a driver who won the Daytona 500, sorted by the year of his first victory in NASCAR's biggest race. Below each name is the make of car he won in. One winner sits on the timeline from the start, year visible. Pick a gap for every new driver, before, between or after the others. When you're right his year comes up; when you're wrong he still takes his proper place, and you're down one of three lives.

The field spans the whole life of the race, from its first runs on the new superspeedway to the current generation of drivers. Plenty of legends needed many attempts before they won it, so a long, famous career is no guarantee of an early card, while some surprise winners come out of nowhere. Car makes repeat across every era and only help if you know who drove what. Family names recur too, so read the first name carefully.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
