    		Daytona Beach Road Course was a race track that was instrumental in the formation of NASCAR. It originally became famous as the location where fifteen world land speed records were set.

    The lap length in early events was 3.2 miles, and it was lengthened to 4.2 miles in the late 1940s.

    Its circuit length was 3.1 to 4.2 mi (5.0 to 6.7 km).
