In 1985 it scored again, announcing what at the time seemed to be an outrageous program. It was called the Winston Million. RJR would pay $1 million to any driver who could win three of the so-called Big Four races—the Daytona 500, the Winston 500 , the Coca-Cola 600 and the Southern 500 .The promise of the program could be seen in the faces of drivers who attended the announcement.
