Before the Daytona speedway, drivers raced on the beach.

Id like to see modern NASCAR do the Gauntlet like this.

[@Lagib28]

Thanks. I never knew about this event.

My dad had a '64 Comet when I was a kid... I had a chance to buy one twenty years ago, but I didn't want to trade in my Coupe DeVille for it.

I was expecting the british brand car _TRIUMPH._

[@Porschedude8]

I wonder if any of the "big three" would even consider doing an endurance test of their current models today...

[@coltsfan79]

Not even the European companies, Mercedes, Audi and Subaru (I know Japan) have tried to break this record and all fell flat on their faces.

[@jairomaciasrally317]

What? The didn’t change tires even once??? This is crazy

[@Porschedude8]

They did as needed. That's what the "pit stops" were for...

[@Ziggy_Moonglow]

5:25 - Tires were changed
