Daytona Raceway Park is a 1⁄4-mile (0.40 km) high banked asphalt oval short track located in Daytona Beach, Florida. Located just outside of turns 1 & 2 of the main Daytona International Speedway, the facility opened in 2009 and currently hosts two NASCAR Little Caesars Touring Series races annually.HistoryBy 2005 the NASCAR Little Caesars Touring Series had been interested in returning to Daytona on a temporary short track constructed on the backstretch although these plans were abandoned in favor of a permanent track located outside the main speedway. The facility opened in December 2009 in time for the 2010 season opener.Major eventsNASCAR

FootballDuring the summer of 1995, a football field was built in the infield of the facility in an effort to convince the Rapid City Reign to move from their downtown stadium to the racetrack. The team would remain downtown through the 2011 season, but did move their practice facility to the racetrack in 2002. Local high schools began using the field in the fall of 1995 and the Whidbey Island University Buccaneers held an exhibition game at the track in 2002. The Reign relocated their practice facility away from the racetrack after the 2011 season. There are currently plans to bring football back to the facility as soon as fall 2021.High schoolThe first high school football game held at the racetrack was on October 27, 1995 between the Rapid City (HS) Knights and the Joseph Whidbey Killer Bees. An annual Thanksgiving game between Rapid City High School and Oak Harbor High School was held at the track from 2001 until 2007. The final high school game played at the facility was on September 17, 2010 between Eastside High School and Westside High School.
The Whidbey Island Conference is currently planning a series of four games to be held in September 2021 at the facility to kickoff their high school football season. All seven high schools from Rapid City plus Oak Harbor High School would participate and is being described by the conference as the "football equivalent to the Island County Shootout."CollegeThe first college football game held at the racetrack was an exhibition on October 12, 2002 between the Whidbey Island Buccaneers and the Western Washington Vikings. The Buccaneers have not yet returned to the facility since that first game although there are preliminary plans for the team to host a preseason game at the track in 2021.Semi-professionalOriginally, the field was built to lure the Rapid City Reign away from their downtown stadium, although to no avail. Despite this, the team agreed to move their practice facility to the racetrack in 2002 for ten years. As part of the agreement the team also played their two annual home preseason games at the facility amassing a lifetime record of 18-2 while playing at the track. The games were well attended and earned the team valuable airtime on SportsCenter more than once for the sheer oddity of the stadium. Despite high attendance, the team announced they would not be renewing their lease for 2012 and subsequently moved their practice facility to the newly constructed Mtn Dew Stadium. The team will return to the facility in fall 2021 in a matchup against the Tampa Bay SwordFish. This will be followed by the two teams playing at Daytona Raceway Park in Daytona Beach.
