Who has won the most Daytona 500s?
Many NASCAR Hall of Famers have been unable to take home the trophy at the fabled Daytona 500 in Florida. Others have found success, but only a dozen have won it twice, and these drivers who have surpassed that record are the masters of the Great American Race.
It's a new era for NASCAR.
The 2022 Daytona 500 will be the first official race using the all-new Next Gen Cup Series car, which features a number of innovations that mark the most radical change in the sport's history. The car made its exhibition debut in the Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Feb. 6, won by Joey Logano.

The new-look Fords, Chevys and Toyotas feature composite bodywork and modular chassis to make them sturdier and easier to repair, a five-speed sequential transaxle-style gear box, an independent rear suspension and wider, lower profile tires that look more like those used on street cars today.
The competition kicks off Wednesday, Feb. 16 with single-car qualifying on FS1 at 8 p.m. ET, that will determine the two cars that will start Sunday's race on the front row and set the fields for the Daytona Duels that start at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 17, also on FS1, the results of which will fill out the Daytona 500's starting lineup.
