According to the National Parks Service, named after President
Theodore Roosevelt, the stuffed bear was first sold by Morris
Michtom, a Brooklyn, New York, resident who owned a candy
shop.
Michtom’s wife, Rose, who made stuffed animal toys, actually
created the first teddy bears.

On February 15, 1998, after 20 years of trying, racing great
Dale Earnhardt Sr. finally won his first Daytona 500, the
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR)
season opener and an event dubbed the “Super Bowl of
stock car racing.”
Driving his black No. 3 Chevrolet, Earnhardt recorded an
average speed of 172.712 mph and took home a then-record
more than $1 million in prize money.
Following his victory, crews from competing teams lined the
pit road at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona
Beach, Florida, to congratulate Earnhardt, who drove his car
onto the grass and did several celebratory doughnuts, or
circles (below).
