Ormond/Daytona Beach

Displeasure over public road closing prompted Bill France to eliminate time trials before some Daytona Races. He moved south to more remote Ponce Inlet course. First NASCAR sanctioned race ever held was held here on new Beach-Road course Feb 15, 1948. Winner, Red Byron, praised great mechanic, Red Vogt, who wrenched 10 winners in 13 Beach Races 1940-1948. including 7 in a row. Punctured oil pan kept Red Byron from winning final 1948 Beach Race.
