Closest Margin of Victory (0.002)

The record for the closest margin of victory in a NASCAR race was set in 2003 when Ricky Craven beat Kurt Busch by that margin. The record was then tied a few years ago in Talladega during the Aaron’s 499 when Jimmie Johnson edged Clint Bowyer by the same margin.

Give the fact that this has happened twice it would seem plausible that we could see another finish tie the record for the closest margin of victory.

However, there is very little room break this record. In fact, the only room that there is would be 0.001 which obviously has never been accomplished. This might not be one of NASCAR’s glamorous records but it is one that is going to be hard to break.
