DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — There are few venues on NASCAR’s schedule quite like Daytona International Speedway in July.

Sweltering summer heat and humidity with rain and lightning always lurking. Kiddie pools and American flags everywhere. A usually intense night race on a slippery surface. An over-the-top fireworks display afterward.

It’s a one-of-a-kind celebration at NASCAR’s most famous track.

It also could be history following Saturday night’s 400-mile race at Daytona.

A significant scheduling shakeup has the iconic race tethered to Independence Day moving to late August in 2020 and becoming the Sprint Cup Series’ regular-season finale. It’s a bold break from tradition that’s been met with mixed reviews.

“There’s not a lot of other tracks that can provide what Daytona can provide on a holiday weekend,” retired NASCAR driver and current NBC analyst Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. “I’ve never tried to celebrate that weekend anywhere else other than Daytona.”
