DAYTONA BEACH — To quote a former champion of the Daytona 500, “Boogity, boogity, boogity.”

Speedweek has officially arrived, kicking off NASCAR’s 75th Cup Series season and it all leads up to Sunday’s 65th running of the Daytona 500.

Between Cup Series qualifying Wednesday night and Sunday afternoon's drop of the green flag, four NASCAR national series — Cup Series, Xfinity Series, Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series — will hold practices, qualifying and races at Daytona International Speedway.
