Daytona International Speedway's primary track, the tri-oval, is 2.5 miles (4 km) long
. The famous Daytona 500 race held there covers 500 miles, which equals 200 laps around this 2.5-mile circuit
. In addition to the tri-oval, the speedway features several other layouts:
- A 3.56-mile (5.73 km) sports car course
- A 2.95-mile (4.75 km) motorcycle course
- A 1,320-foot (0.25 mile) karting and motorcycle flat track
But when people refer to the length of Daytona Speedway, they most commonly mean the 2.5-mile tri-oval used for NASCAR events like the Daytona 500.
