The World Center of Racing will continue to host North America's top motorcycle road racing series as part of a multi-year extension.
MotoAmerica, the organization promoting the AMA Superbike Series, agreed to a multi-year extension with Daytona International Speedway. This deal ensures that the motorcycle racing series will return to the Florida track annually through the 2028 season.
According to a press release, the historic Daytona 200 will take place on March 6-8, 2025. Josh Herrin, who won his third Daytona 200 this season, will attempt to capture his fourth. If he can achieve this goal, he will have the second-most Daytona 200 wins of all time. Scott Russell and Miguel Duhamel hold the record with five wins each.
"The collaboration between MotoAmerica and Daytona International Speedway has elevated the Daytona 200 over the past three years, and we couldn't be more excited to announce a three-year extension to the partnership," said Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher in a statement.
"The Daytona 200 is one of the marquee events on our calendar and riders, fans, and partners from around the world travel to the World Center of Racing for the opportunity to be a part of an historic racing event. We're proud to be such an instrumental part of the MotoAmerica schedule."
The Daytona 200 first began in 1937 with an event on a 3.2-mile beach course on Daytona Beach. The prestigious race moved to Daytona International Speedway in 1961, two years after the first NASCAR Cup Series race at the superspeedway.
The motorcycle race -- the only one on the schedule featuring pit stops for fuel and tires -- has remained at Daytona International Speedway ever since.
The Daytona 200 was the first event of the season on the MotoAmerica schedule. The season continued with 10 other race weekends across the United States. New Jersey Motorsports Park hosts the finale on Sept. 27-29.
"MotoAmerica is excited to extend our agreement with Daytona International Speedway, continuing our role in overseeing and operating the Daytona 200 for an additional three years," said MotoAmerica COO Chuck Aksland in a statement. "Our partnership with the Speedway has grown stronger with each event, and we've seen tremendous success and momentum year after year.
"From day one, our focus has been to continue to grow the Daytona 200's prestige, and it's truly an honor to be part of its iconic history. Interest in the race continues to rise globally, with more riders, teams, and manufacturers eager to take on this one-of-a-kind challenge. We look forward to seeing everyone at Daytona in March."
