The 200 miles (320 km) race, known asDaytona ARCA 200, is currently known for sponsorship reasons as theGeneral Tire 200.

In 1990, the race is mostly remembered of a series of accidents, including 1970 winner and1976 Daytona 500 polesitterRamo 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 afterBob 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, theNASCAR 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.

• 2002: The race was shortened due to rain.
• 2005 & 2017: The race was shortened due to time limit constraints as a result of numerous incidents.
