Daytona International Speedway

Daytona Beach, Fla.

daytonausa.com

Daytona is magical and not just because it hosts the 500. The whole area is hallowed ground for racers, from the beach where several land-speed records were set to the stretch of A1A once used for the old "beach-road course" races. Opened in 1959, DIS is similar to Talladega, but more narrow and bumpier. The driver probably has a little more to do with the outcome at Daytona than at Talladega, and the multi-car drafts are a little less awe-inspiring.
