As the first race event of the NASCAR Cup Series, and an event that’s regarded as the most prestigious race in the NASCAR calendar, the Daytona 500 is the one that everyone wants to win – for championship points and bragging rights.

Built in 1959 by NASCAR founder William “Bill” France Sr., the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, is one of the most famous motor racing circuits in the world today. Famously hosting the Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup Series race event, alongside a variety of other Superbike Championship and Supercross Championship race events and the 24 Hours at Daytona, the primary layout of the Daytona International Speedway – which is the layout you’ll see when you attend the Daytona 500 – is an impressive 2.5 km Tri-Oval with banked corners and long straights where NASCAR stock cars can reach speeds upwards of 200 mph. With average lap times of under a minute during the Daytona 500, and a standard 40-car field on track for the race itself, you won’t have to wait long to witness some incredible on-track action when visiting this remarkable circuit.

Known as The Great American Race and the Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing, the importance of the Daytona 500 cannot be overstated. It’s been held annually since 1959, with it being the NASCAR Cup Series season opener since 1982. Since 1997, the winner has been presented with the prestigious Harley J. Earl Trophy, and the winning car is displayed for an entire year at the Daytona 500 Experience – a museum and gallery adjacent to the circuit. A remarkable 500-mile race where 40 NASCAR stock cars career around a 2.5 km circuit 200 times, the Daytona 500 is a jaw-dropping spectacle and one American sports event you’ll never forget.
