Originally a course that went 1.5 miles down the highway, turned and then came back the same distance on the beach, the evolution of the "World Center of Racing" began with the opening of what is now Daytona International Speedway. Opened in 1959, this 2.5 mile tri-oval superspeedway is home to the "Great American Race"- the Daytona 500, the biggest, richest and most prestigous race in America. With the capacity to seat more than 168,000 fans, Daytona International Speedway offers banking of 3 degrees on the straightaways and 31 degrees in the turns- the most possible before the paving machines actually tipped over.
Drafting was birthed at this track when Junior Johnson discovered he could run faster by tucking his car in close behind another rather than running alone. DIS's Daytona 500, NASCAR's biggest event has hosted many of the sport's greatest moments and possibly its greatest tragedy. In 1998 Dale Earnhardt took the checkered flag after his 20th attempt at the coveted title. Just three years later, the track took his life in a turn 4 wreck on the final lap of the race.
The infamous 2.5 mile Daytona International Speedway promises close side-by-side competition and fast speeds approaching 200 miles per hour along with historical moments all along the way.
