The Most Horrifying Auto Racetracks In The World

5. Daytona International Speedway

This classic racetrack is legendary in its own right. It hosts the highly esteemed Daytona 500 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series. Known for the fatal accident of America’s Dale Earnhardt Sr. at the Daytona 500 in 2001, it also saw the spectacular crash injuring Bobby Allison at Talladega in 1987. That accident heightened awareness for safety, including regulating the use of restrictor plates to control speed. That did not cause an end to crashes, however, and since it was open in 1959, thirty-six drivers have met their deaths on that track.
