Daytona International Speedway opened in 1959, designed by NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. and engineer Charles Moneypenny to replace the Daytona Beach Road Course. The road course was completed in summer 1959, utilizing the infield and portions of the 2.5-mile tri-oval with its distinctive 31-degree banking. The International Horseshoe (later named for Pedro Rodríguez) was added to create the 3.87-mile initial configuration.
A bus stop chicane was introduced in 1975 to slow speeds entering the banked oval section, then substantially modified in 1984 into a longer three-legged design. The course underwent major revisions with an esse bend and realigned straight leading to the International Horseshoe. The entire track was repaved in 2010 using 50,000 tons of asphalt. The current sports car configuration measures 3.56 miles.
Located in Daytona Beach, Florida on 450 acres, the facility is owned by NASCAR under lease from the City of Daytona Beach through 2054. The 180-acre infield features 29-acre Lake Lloyd, created from dirt excavated for the banking. The $400 million Daytona Rising project (2013-2016) modernized facilities with 101,500 permanent seats.
Daytona hosts the 24 Hours of Daytona (since 1962), NASCAR road course events, and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
