DAYTONA 500 HISTORY
The Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway is NASCAR's premier race and was established by NASCAR in 1959
at the newly opened Daytona International Raceway in Daytona, FL. The 2.5-mile banked track at Daytona, which
has permanent seating for about 90,000 spectators, was built near the site of a Daytona beach course that had been
used for stock car racing in the 1930s.
The annual NASCAR race at Daytona had previously been staged on a 4.1-mile
beach and road course in the area. The 2001 Daytona 500 was the darkest day in NASCAR history as Dale Earnhardt was
taken from NASCAR during an ill fated accident at the end of the race. In 2004, Daytona International Speedway
broke ground on a multi-million, multi-faceted infield renovation project which includes a new tunnel located in
Turn 1 that will accommodate team transport vehicles and guest's specialty vehicles.
