The track hosts the Cup Series, with the Daytona 500 as its crown jewel. This 2.5-mile asphalt oval is known for high-speed racing, frequent overtime decisions, often decided by late cautions or GWC finishes. In early 2026, Daytona Speedweeks featured Cup Series qualifying, Duels, and the 68th running of the Daytona 500, continuing the track's tradition as a premier racing showcase.
