NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. built Daytona International Speedway in 1959 to replace the old Daytona Beach Road Course, where stock cars had raced partly on the sand. His high-banked 2.5-mile tri-oval allowed much higher speeds and gave fans a clear view of the whole track. The first Daytona 500 ran in February 1959, and the race has opened the NASCAR season ever since, becoming the sport's most prestigious event. The track also hosts the 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race, and lights were added in 1998. The "Daytona Rising" project, finished in 2016, rebuilt the frontstretch grandstands with wider seats and five new fan entrances.
