Daytona International Speedway Road Course - Cup Series Race Winners
 | The original 3.810 mi (6.132 km) Daytona Road Course was built in 1959 and first hosted a three-hour sports car race called the Daytona Continental in 1962.[18] The race length became 2,000 km (1,200 mi) in 1964. In 1973, a very sharp chicane was added at the end of the backstretch, approaching oval turn three. In 1984 the layout was modified, re-profiling road course turns 1 and 2, and moving what is now turn 3 closer to its preceding turns. Also, the chicane on the backstretch was modified. A new entry leg was constructed approximately 400 feet (120 m) earlier, resulting in a longer, three-legged, "bus stop" shape. Cars would now enter in the first leg, bypass the second leg, and exit out of the existing third leg. Passing would now be possible inside the longer chicane. The construction resulted in a final length of 3.560 mi (5.729 km) for the complete road course. In 2003, the backstretch chicane was modified once again. The middle leg was repaved and widened, and now cars would enter through the first leg, and exit out of the second leg. The existing third leg was abandoned. This allowed cars a cleaner entry into oval turn three. After favorable results, in 2010 the third leg was demolished and removed permanently. NASCAR in 2020 added a modification of the course adding a chicane near the exit of Turn 12. |
