    Traditions & lore

    What makes Daytona International Speedway feel like more than another race weekend.

    The Rolex Daytona for every class winner

    The race that lends the watch its name returns the favour: every class-winning driver receives a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona — the prize that defines the event.

    The Rolex 24's signature prize isn't a cheque — it's a watch. Each winning driver in every class receives a steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, engraved with the event and year, a tradition Wikipedia traces back to 1964 and the reason the modern race carries the Rolex name.

    For sportscar drivers the green-dial winner's Daytona is one of the most coveted prizes in motorsport — a physical marker of a class win at one of endurance racing's triple-crown events that's worn rather than shelved.

    What do you win at the Rolex 24 at Daytona?

    Each class-winning driver at the Rolex 24 at Daytona receives a steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch, engraved with the event and year — the prize that gives the modern race its name. It is widely regarded as one of the most coveted trophies in motorsport.

    Banking meets infield

    The Rolex 24 runs on a 3.56-mile combined course that splices a flat infield road section onto Daytona’s 31°-banked NASCAR tri-oval.

    Unlike most endurance circuits, Daytona's sportscar layout is a hybrid: cars run flat-out around the steeply banked 31° NASCAR tri-oval, then brake hard into a tight, flat twelve-turn infield section before rejoining the banking. The 3.56-mile combined road course uses most of the oval plus the infield.

    That split personality — sustained high-speed banking loads followed by stop-start infield braking — makes the Rolex 24 a uniquely demanding test, and the banking at night, under the lights, is one of the iconic sights in American motorsport.

    The season opener, around the clock

    Held in late January, the Rolex 24 opens the IMSA season and runs a full 24 hours through a cold Florida night.

    The Rolex 24 traditionally opens the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season in late January, setting the tone for the year. Running the full 24 hours means teams race through the cold Florida night, and weather is a genuine variable — the 2019 race was cut short by heavy rain, ending after 593 laps in under 22 hours.

    The huge entry lists, the four-class traffic and the round-the-clock format make Daytona a survival test as much as a sprint, and a strong result here shapes a manufacturer's entire season.

    From the Daytona Continental

    The event traces to the 1962 three-hour Daytona Continental, growing to the 24-hour format in 1966.

    Endurance racing at Daytona began with the three-hour Daytona Continental in 1962. The race grew to a 24-hour format in 1966, giving it more than six decades of continuity as one of endurance racing's classics alongside Le Mans and Sebring.

    That lineage is why a Daytona win carries historical weight far beyond the championship points it pays — the roll of honour runs from the sports-prototype legends of the 1960s and 70s straight through to today's LMDh GTP cars.
