The Daytona 500 is NASCAR's most important and prestigious annual race. Since its first race in 1959 to today, every professional driver has dreamt of crossing the finish line first. To win at Daytona cements your racing legacy and puts you in the same breath with some of the all-time greats like Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Bobby Allison, and Jeff Gordon. Daytona is NASCAR's season-opening championship, preluding the entire Cup Series.
