From georgiaracinghistory.com:
Some say it may be something in the water. Other say it has something to do with what they make out of the water. Regardless, the little town of Dawsonville, Georgia, nestled in the mountains of North Georgia, holds a distinction that few other single towns can claim. It is the hometown of no less than five Daytona winners, between the beach years and the years at Daytona International Speedway. Lloyd Seay, Roy Hall, Bernard Long, Gober Sosebee and Bill Elliott all came from Dawsonville. Seay, Hall, Long, and Sosebee were all winners on the old Daytona Beach and Road course, while Elliott scored two Daytona 500 victories, in 1985 and 1988.
You’d be hard pressed to find another single small town that produced so many winners at such a major venue.
Just think, with Chase Elliott also being from Dawsonville, there may soon be a sixth Daytona winner from there!
