The 1980 Firecracker 400 was a NASCAR Winston Cup Series racing event that took place on July 4, 1980, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.

One hundred and sixty laps of racing would result in a final win for Mercury in the Winston Cup Series (now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series)[2] before the manufacturer left NASCAR due to rule changes reducing the wheelbase of the tires from {{convert|110|in|ft}} to {{convert|105|in|ft}}.[3]

Summary

Bobby Allison would be the final driver to win in a Mercury for the Ford Motor Company; he would beat David Pearson by six car lengths.[2] Other notable competitors included Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty, Richard Childress and Bill Elliott.[2] Out of forty participants, eleven competitors failed to finish the race.[2] Cale Yarborough would be credited for finishing last place with an overheated engine.[2] The race took two hours, eighteen minutes, and eleven seconds to complete.[2] Phil Finney had a violent crash off turn 4 and inflicted terminal damage to his vehicle on lap 152.[2]

All drivers were born in the United States of America.[2]

Safety regulations made within the 1980s and 1990s would slow down the speed of vehicles in both the Firecracker 400 and the Daytona 500. The average speed for this race was a race record {{convert|173.473|mi/h}} while the pole position speed was {{convert|194.670|mi/h}}. Three cautions slowed the race for 11 laps.[2] Fifty-four thousand spectators were in attendance.[2] Out of the forty drivers in the grid, ten of them would fail to finish the race due to car problems.[2] On the day after the race, Lennie Pond would make a celebrity appearance at a Burger King in nearby South Daytona; entertaining customers for three hours in the days before celebrity appearances were mainstream in the racing community.[4]

Rick Wilson made his NASCAR debut in this event while Phil Finney and John Greenwood would retire from NASCAR racing after this race.[5]
