This year's Daytona 500 came down to a fantastic finish with Penske Automotive taking the top two spots. It is the first time in Roger Penske's storied racing history that he won the Daytona 500 as a car owner.
A big reason for the victory by Penske driver Ryan Newman was the support of his team mate Kurt Busch. Kurt Busch had an opportunity to try and pass Ryan Newman who was running in second place, but there was no guarantee that he would have passed him. It was also likeley that if he did try that move, neither he nor team mate Newman would have been able to pass race leader Jimmie Johnson. It was more likely that they both would have slipped back to third and fourth place.
Kurt Busch chose to push Ryan Newman in to the lead then take his chance to pass him. By doing so he finished second and his appreciative team mate won the race.
As business owners we sometimes risk a lot for the possibility of a huge success rather than give up a little for a very respectable success. Focus on achieving small victories every day and in the long run you will finish further ahead than if you always go for big wins.
What small victory did you celebrate today?
