Every February at Daytona Beach, the drama is palpable: tens of thousands of racing fans gather, the media converge, and the stock car teams tune up their engines and test out their vehicles on the biggest super-speedway of its day.

NASCAR expert Duane Falk provides a complete history of the classic, from the Grand National era to the most recent heart-pounding face-offs, detailing Daytona's evolution from semi-amateur beach race to corporate sponsored gold mine. Filled with details of each race, and featuring extensive appendices that include yearly winners, all-time track records, and much more, this is the ultimate tribute to one of the world's most popular sporting events.
