Track
The Daytona International Speedway Road Course is a thrilling blend of speed and precision, combining the iconic high-banked oval with a technical infield section that demands focus and control. Spanning 5.73 kilometers (3.56 miles), the layout is famous for its flat-out blasts through the banking, intricate cornering through the infield, and the infamous Bus Stop chicane that tests both braking and composure. It’s a track where drafting battles dominate the straights, and sharp decision-making is key through the twists. Under the lights, Daytona transforms into an even greater spectacle, pushing drivers to their limits and rewarding those who can balance aggression with strategy.
