In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosts ARCA, AMA Superbike, USCC, SCCA, and Motocross races.

The track was built in 1959 by NASCAR founder William "Bill" France, Sr. to host racing held at the former Daytona Beach Road Course.

His banked design permitted higher speeds and gave fans a better view of the cars.

Lights were installed around the track in 1998 and today, it is the third-largest single lit outdoor sports facility.

The project, named "Daytona Rising", was completed in January 2016, at a cost of US $400 million, placing emphasis on improving fan experience with five expanded and redesigned fan entrances (called "injectors") as well as wider and more comfortable seating with more restrooms and concession stands.

Kyle Larson was awarded the pole for the race as a result of the pandemic formula with a score of 1.350.

Michael McDowell won the race off of pit road and he led the field to the restart on lap 101.

It started when Tyler Reddick hit Michael McDowell at the wrong angle and McDowell went up and hit the outside wall and came down in front of the pack collecting Ross Chastain, Corey LaJoie, Chris Buescher, Martin Truex Jr., Bubba Wallace, and William Byron.

The wreck would be big for Truex as he and Ryan Blaney were both battling each other and whoever is in a must-win situation to lock themselves into the playoffs.

Chase Briscoe attempted to take the lead from Logano but got turned by Alex Bowman and Briscoe hit the outside wall head on and collected Bowman, Austin Dillon, Aric Almirola, Bubba Wallace, and Cole Custer.

In turn 1, Denny Hamlin, Daniel Suárez, Daniel Hemric, and Justin Haley all got sideways at the exact same time and all spun and the wreck collected a total of 18 cars including a majority of the top 20.

Daniel Suárez took a big shot into the outside wall where he got t-boned in the passengers side by Denny Hamlin.

The wreck collected Kevin Harvick, Tyler Reddick, Chase Elliott, Aric Almirola, Denny Hamlin, Daniel Hemric, Chris Buescher, Kyle Busch, Harrison Burton, Bubba Wallace, Justin Haley, Todd Gilliland, Ty Dillon, Erik Jones, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Cody Ware, Noah Gragson, and Daniel Suárez.

Dillon and many others behind him including Cody Ware were in a must-win situation if they wanted to lock themselves a spot in the playoffs.

But on the restart, Austin Cindric, who won the 2022 Daytona 500 earlier in the year, took the lead with a push from Martin Truex Jr.

Soon, Cindric led Dillon, Landon Cassill, and Martin Truex Jr. on a four car breakaway from the pack.

With 6 to go, Cole Custer blew a right front tire and hit the outside wall but no caution was flown.

Tyler Reddick, Austin Cindric, Landon Cassill, and Noah Gragson rounded out the top 5 while Cody Ware, B. J. McLeod, Martin Truex Jr., David Ragan, and Kyle Busch rounded out the top 10.
