Stock car races in the ARCA Menards Series has been held at Daytona International Speedway as part of Daytona Speedweek since 1964.

General Tire 200

The race, known as Daytona ARCA 200, is currently known for sponsorship reasons as the General Tire 200.

History In 1990, the race is mostly remembered of a series of accidents, including 1970 winner and 1976 Daytona 500 polesitter Ramo Stott rolling over in the middle of the track and causing a 10 car pile-up. As a result of a wreck late in the race, paramedic Mike Staley, while taking care of Kevin Gundaker, was injured after Bob Keselowski spun into Gundaker's car, thus striking him and tossing him into the air for several feet. In the same wreck, Slick Johnson was killed after striking the turn 4 wall, before being run into from behind by another car.

From 2003 to 2017, the NASCAR Cup pole winners' race was held after the ARCA race. As a result of numerous incidents during the ARCA race, officials ruled a time-certain finish in order to allow the pole winner's race preparations, and the national television broadcast, to begin on time. Daytona changed the schedule in 2018 so the NASCAR Cup pole winners' race would be run the next day to prevent time-certain finishes in the ARCA race.

General Tire 100

In 2020, as a result of schedule realignment due to COVID-19 pandemic, a one-off race was held at the road course named General Tire 100, as part of Daytona road course weekend that also featured the three NASCAR national series. Michael Self won the only ARCA race held at the track, postponed from what originally was to be an afternoon race to a night race because of inclement weather (wet tires, however, were used during the race).

Although the top three series did return to the Daytona road course the following year due to another COVID-19 related rescheduling, the ARCA series did not return that year.
