Where to Watch the Daytona 500

Nothing spells the end of winter quite like the Great American Race. For those of you NASCAR novices (or haters alike), a little history. The Daytona 500 is the start of the NASCAR calendar. It is one of the cup's most storied races with fantastic finishes and great tragedies alike in its 52 year history. It is the largest single race purse, so the big winner has some cash to burn. But maybe most importantly, this race was how I began my love-love relationship with the sport many years ago.

This year, NASCAR has undergone some important changes, including altering the chase point system, preventing drivers from participating competitively in multiple racing series, and most importantly for today, they've repaved the track at Daytona. What that means for our drivers is anyone's guess.

Let's go racing!
