NASCAR is dividing the Daytona 500 into three segments. It's not clear to me if the race will be stopped and restarted at the end of each segment. I'm not sure how this will play with their fans.
The stage breakdown for the Daytona 500 is 60-60-80. The first and second stages for the Daytona 500 will consist of 60 laps. The final stage to determine the winner of the 59th annual “Great American Race” will be 80 laps.

Not sure how I feel about this. NASCAR lost me as a fan years ago, but I do watch the Daytona 500 every year. Part of me is mad that they are screwing with tradition and doesn't want to watch it. Part of me is bored with Daytona, as there is no "race" until the last 100 miles anyway. Maybe the new format will provide action worth watching as it is now going to be 3 sprints.
