America’s most historic motorcycle race will turn 75 next season, as plans ramp up to make the 2016 Daytona 200 one to remember.
The race will once again be sanctioned by the American Sportbike Racing Association (ASRA), running 600cc machinery for the 57 laps of the 3.51-mile classic event.
“We are thrilled to continue to work with American SportBike Racing Association as the sanctioning body for the Daytona 200,” Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood said. “It’s an important anniversary for the Daytona 200 in 2016 and we look forward to celebrating this event’s rich history with an exciting event featuring riders battling for a competitive purse and a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona.”
The event will also feature a host of support races with the ASRA and Championship Cup Series running on Thursday, March 10 through Sunday, March 12. Daytona 200 qualifying will take place on Friday, March 11.
Daytona Bike Week will once again be back in full swing, with a huge variety of shows and events on display for racing fans. Saturday, March 5 will see the Monster Energy AMA Supercross boys take to the infield in the only supercross race in Florida, while a week later on March 10-11 it will be the turn of the AMA Pro Flat Track field to tear up the oval located outside Daytona’s turns one and two.
