Dale wanted to have that penny for the rest of the race season but rules said he couldnt.

Really? What was the story behind that?

Whoever wins the Daytona 500, NASCAR takes that car and places it in the museum. It stays there until the next Daytona 500. Rules state that the car has to go in as it went in the race. Nothing can be taken from the car. So the penny had to stay on the dashboard.
