Today marks 10 days before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers suit up for the most prestigious event on the schedule, the 2025 DAYTONA 500. When it comes to NASCAR’s regular season Daytona victory total – 10 is the magic number of achievement. NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt each earned 10 regular season trophies at the historic track. Petty’s all came in the NASCAR Cup Series ranks and included seven in the DAYTONA 500 and three in the summer 400-miler. Earnhardt had seven NASCAR Xfinity Series wins and three NASCAR Cup Series victories, including the 1998 DAYTONA 500.

Tune-in to the 2025 DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, February 16 at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
