First run in 1962, the 24 Hours of Daytona covers a full day and night of driving laps on a 3.5-mile-long track composed like a Nascar oval combined with an infield road. Officials this year will allow a small amount of fans to buy tickets and watch the race from the infield; the limited attendance complies with coronavirus guidelines mandated by state and local governmental officials. NBC and IMSA.com will air the race, along with other TV and online streamers.
