The Daytona 500
The Daytona 500 is the richest of the four biggest NASCAR Sprint Cup races. It's the final event of Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, which lasts more than two weeks. The speedway is a 2.5-mile oval, and racers must complete 200 laps. The Daytona Speedway, which has a seating capacity of 102,900, has been operating since 1959, but stock-car racing at Daytona dates back to 1936, and car racing has been going on here since the early days of cars.

After three multiple car crashes in the last 20 laps (one of which involved 21 cars), only 19 of the 40 cars were running at the end of the race and only 14 completed every lap. It was the first race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, and also marked the début of the Ford Mustang, which Ford brought in as a replacement for the Fusion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Daytona_500
