Question: what are the stages for in the daytona 500?
Answer: Daytona 500 stages. The length of the first stage of each race varies depending on the track, but it's approximately 25-30 percent of the race's total length. Stage 2 also is 25-30 percent of the race, with Stage 3 made up of whatever mileage is left after the first two stages, usually roughly half.
