Its high banks and drafting make it a tougher challenge for drivers and crew chiefs than any other track. Daytona's 2.5 tri-oval track is 40 feet wide and the curves are 31 degrees. It is the most demanding track in the circuit, and it is the first race of the season. Last year, Dale Jarrett won the Daytona 500, as well as the Bud Shootout. The cars will have to make changes to go back to a normal oval track, so fans won't know who is going to be a dominating force in the Winston Cup circuit until the true oval racing starts.
Most teams have different cars specifically designed for speedway race tracks.
It runs well in the draft, so that's what we are going to use for Daytona. It's nice having two great speedway cars ready to go. 600 S. Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28202.
