But the Spire Motorsports driver had something really special for the fans.

Corey featured a video of Joe Rogan saying, “NASCAR is one of the most American things of all time.”

And posted it with the caption, “@joerogan said it best.” And he went on to show the Daytona International Speedway, and showed his new helmet for the race!

Moreover, the helmet representing America’s colors, along with all the icons of the United States is what will protect LaJoie’s head on Sunday!

But, what makes the Daytona 500 such a special race? Let’s find out!

What makes the Daytona International Speedway so special that Joe Rogan celebrated it?

NASCAR held its first-ever race at Daytona in 1959, which sits right opposite the sport’s official headquarters. However, the most interesting part is, that headquarters, which used to be a hotel, is where a group of businessmen, led by NASCAR founder, Bill Farce, met to form the sport.

Of course, that’s not all. Being a superspeedway, it offers a very different style of racing. Moreover, the Daytona 500 is one race where the pole winner is decided after the official qualifying on a Sunday, right before the race.

But the thing that sets Daytona apart is The King of NASCAR. Richard Petty won seven of his 200 wins at Daytona. In fact, drivers would consider his #43 unstoppable on the track which we now see as the season opener.

Unfortunately, Daytona also stands as a symbol of one of the most unfortunate days in NASCAR history. We saw the legendary, seven-time Cup Series champion, Dale Earnhardt, lose his life in the 2001 Daytona 500 race. On the bright side, there have been no death in NASCAR since then. Yet, the dark shadow that Earnhardt’s death left on the track can still be felt.

In the end, Daytona 500 will continue to have its battle with the Indianapolis 500 for the title of the “Great American Race.” But it sure is one of the most American things ever.
