Best known for hosting the Daytona 500 Sprint Cup Series race every February since 1959, as well as an annual Sprint Cup race each July, Daytona also currently hosts NASCAR Nationwide Series, CTS and ARCA RE/MAX Series races every year. Past divisions to compete at the track include the now defunct IROC Series, the defunct Goody's Dash Series and even the USAC Indy cars competed at the track in 1959. If that's not enough racing excitement the track also has a 3.56 mile infield road course that hosts a variety of sports car events, most notably the annual 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race.

Turn one has 14 degrees of banking and is based on the turns of the now defunct Trenton Speedway, turn 2, aka the "tunnel turn" has 8 degrees of banking similar to Indianapolis Motor Speedway and turn 3 is banked 6 degrees like the Milwaukee Mile's turns. The facility first opened in 1969 as 0.75 mile oval (that track was used until 1991, mostly for modified races) and then in 1971 the first event was held on the big 2.5 mile track. In addition to the 2 Sprint Cup races the track holds each season, the track is also well known for hosting the annual Pocono 500 Indy car race from 1971-'89. Some years that event was one leg of the prestigious Indy car triple crown and it was always a marquis event. Pocono also has an infield road course which hosts various club races and also at one time an 1/8 mile drag strip existed, which utilized the track's front stretch. This version of the legendary superspeedway is based off N2 Pocono but has the N3 groove, caution lights and flagman added, as well as Nextel and Sunoco signage.

Texas World Speedway 2000: A modern rendition of the NL based, 2 mile semi-banked superspeedway located in College Station, TX. The facility opened in 1969 and is very similar in layout to it's "sister track" Michigan International Speedway which opened a year earlier. Texas World has hosted many big league racing events including 10 USAC Indy Car races in the 1970's and 8 (what is now known as) Sprint Cup events from 1969-'81. The track also has a 1.5 mile oval and several different road course configurations (which have hosted Can-Am and IMSA sports car races), all of which utilize at least part of the big oval. The track was inactive throughout much of the 80's, before seeing a minor rebirth in the early 90's which included hosting an ARCA-Winston West conjunction race which drew top drivers like Dale Earnhardt and Hershel McGriff. Although no major events have been held at the track since the late '90's, the facility still hosts amateur and club races on the road course(s) and the oval is still used for testing and driving schools.

Several support series have also competed at the track over the years, including Indy Lights, the Atlantic Series, Trans Am, the Rolex Sports Car Series, the American LeMans Series and the Toyota Celebrity Race.
