Home to the prestigious Daytona 500, the Daytona International Speedway serves as NASCAR’s Cup Series season-opening event. Built in 1959, Daytona’s tri-oval has a substantial chunk of history and dramatic events to its name. From Richard ‘The King’ Petty taking the chequered flag seven times to the unfortunate crash of Dale Earnhardt, the famed race track has seen the highest as well as the lowest of NASCAR.

The Speedway also holds ARCA, AMA Superbike, IMSA, and Motocross events. Since its 2013 renovations, the track has a permanent seating capacity of 101,500 that can be raised to 125,000. Ever since the track’s inauguration, it has hosted multiple football games up until 1975. And now, a recent tweet from Adam Stern hints football might be coming back to Daytona.

Could We Get an Ultimate Crossover Between Football and NASCAR?

Following renders released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, team president Mark Lamping spoke about the plans for TIAA Bank Field’s renovation. The stadium’s infrastructure dates back to 1928. Hoping a makeover would be more feasible, he revealed project estimates have reached upwards of $1 billion in the past six months.

Owing to imminent renovations, Lamping may set his eyes set on the Daytona International Speedway, which is a stone’s throw away from the Jaguar’s home base.

“It would be an interesting solution, but would also require significant investment in terms of infrastructure. It can accommodate a big crowd. It would be a little wonky, but it’s worth considering. I hope we have to deal with that issue (of temporary relocation) because that means we would have a stadium deal,” said Lamping.

The Jaguars team boss hopes to meet with track officials soon to discuss their (temporary) move.

As one of the most iconic tracks, Daytona International Speedway has always been jam-packed with drama. Even this year, things got pretty intense at the Cup race.

Drama at the 2023 Daytona 500 That Led to Double Overtime

Despite Jimmie Johnson returning to the Cup Series, the first two stages of the Dayton 500 were uneventful. A massive wreck during the 3rd leg forced the race into overtime. Kyle Busch led from the beginning of overtime but was soon overtaken by Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

The drama didn’t end there as the race went into double overtime after Austin Dillon got spun out, causing the first overtime to be yellow-flagged.   

As the race progressed into double overtime, Kyle Larson slammed into the wall on the final lap. JTG Daugherty Racing driver Stenhouse Jr bagged pole position, overtaking Logano to win the Daytona 500.
