General Tire 100

The General Tire 100 was a ARCA Menards Series race held at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It was run on a 3.61 mi combined road course, utilizing portions of the NASCAR tri-oval and an infield road course.

NASCAR released its schedule through August, and on July 8, 2020, NASCAR announced the series' schedule in the month of August. This included the addition of a race at the Daytona infield road course which replaced the cancelled Watkins Glen International race, the Great Outdoors RV Superstore 100.

It was the first time that NASCAR has raced on the road course that the IMSA sports car series uses for its annual 24 Hours of Daytona. In addition to a Cup Series race on Aug. 16, the Xfinity Series, Truck Series and even ARCA will use the Daytona road course that weekend.

Beginnings
NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway announced Thursday a new twist to the storied, high-banked tri-oval/infield road course with the addition of a chicane at the exit of the NASCAR turn four that will provide competitors with yet another passing zone. The new chicane now creates a 14-turn, 3.57 mi layout (from the 3.56 mi on the storied DAYTONA Road Course), which, for the first time in history, will play host to NASCAR’s three top national series, along with the ARCA Menards Series.
