Each year this event happens during the first week of March. The root of this event goes back to the Daytona 200 race which was first held on January 24, 1937. The first race was 3.2 miles long and was won by Ed Kretz, of Monterey Park, Calif., on an American Indian. No races were run from 1942-1946, because of WWII, racing resumed on February 24, 1947.
