 iNTERNATIONAL RACE OF CHAMPIONS

 

Known as IROC (International Race of Champions), a series of races was held annually from 1973 to 2006. IROC brought together the greatest drivers from all forms of motorsport to compete against each other in iconic cars on historic tracks. Although the annual events ended in 2006, the legacy and recognition of the IROC brand has continued throughout the years. IROC Holdings plans to bring the historic brand back to life. In 2024, NASCAR Hall of Fame member Ray Evernham and former NASCAR Cup Team Owner and venture capitalist Rob Kauffman, announced their acquisition of the rights to the IROC brand and plans to bring the historic brand back to life.

Countdown to the DAYTONA 500: 17 days to go

 

January 30, 2025

Today marks 17 days before NASCAR Cup Series drivers compete in the 67th running of the Great American Race. In 2009 and 2012, NASCAR Hall of Famer Matt Kenseth drove the No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford to victory in the DAYTONA 500. Kenseth’s first victory in NASCAR’s most prestigious race was shortened by rain to 152 laps, making a winner of Drew Blickensderfer in his debut as a NASCAR Cup Series crew chief. Kenseth’s 2012 win required overtime in a race extended two laps beyond its scheduled distance.

 

Tune-in to the 2025 DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, February 16 at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Countdown to the DAYTONA 500: 18 days to go

Wednesday January 29th..Today marks 18 days before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers suit up for the biggest race of the year, the 2025 DAYTONA 500. The number “18” represents a record-setting achievement in the Great American Race. The youngest driver to ever race in the DAYTONA 500 was Joey Logano, whose first start in 2009 was at the age of 18 years, eight months and 22 days. Although Logano finished last – 43rd - in his Daytona debut after a single car crash 81 laps into the race – Logano’s legacy thereafter has stood the test of time. He returned to win the 2015 DAYTONA 500 and is currently the reigning three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion.

Today marks 19 days before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers compete in the 67th running of the Great American Race. For anyone who qualifies mid-pack, the 19th-place starting position isn’t a bad spot on the grid. Three drivers have won NASCAR’s most prestigious race after qualifying 19th—LeeRoy Yarbrough in 1969, Michael Waltrip in 2001 and Ward Burton in 2002. In contrast, no driver has ever won the DAYTONA 500 from 20th.

Today marks 20 days before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers suit up for the biggest race of the year, the 2025 DAYTONA 500, and the number “20” has an interesting history with the race – winning only a single time in its storied 67-year history. Marvin Panch won the third running of the DAYTONA 500 in 1961 in the No. 20 Pontiac Catalina; tuned by the legendary Smokey Yunick. Panch was out front only the final 13 laps inheriting the lead when his teammate Fireball Roberts’ car blew an engine after pacing the field for 170 of the 200 laps. Of Panch's 17 NASCAR Cup Series victories, his 1961 DAYTONA 500 win was his only career victory at Daytona International Speedway.

 

Tune-in to the 2025 DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, February 16 at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
