Sorry, I forgot about the Daytona Speedway! I honestly haven't run it enough to have a set strategy. I also have not ran it with 43 cars yet (or maybe they'll do 40 as per the NASCAR 2016 rules package). I will unlock a full field race in a few days. It's a tricky track... so I like it all the more! Here's what I am doing for now;

In heavy traffic I pass on the inside in the big corners. Passing up high is VERY tricky when running 3 wide. I often hit the wall and cause a small wreck. Running the inside is also tricky, you need to stay glued on the yellow line with your left side tires. It's harder in the last corner as the bumps are worse. They really paid attention to the real track with their coding, it's bumpy in that corner. When traffic thins I tend to pass on the outside in the big corners, as the bots run low.

I honestly I haven't decided what's best for that little dog leg at the start finish line. You can certainly pass on the outside there with a slingshot maneuver. It's just being set up for the next corner that's tricky. In thinner traffic (single file) I'm certainly outside there.

I always prefer being on the inside on every track, as it is a shorter distance around the track. It's just harder now that they made the bots run lower. You need to make a big use of drafting and slingshot at Daytona. Also, getting tangled up can easily cost you a lap or 2 of progress. At LeMans you can get tangled up and catch back up by the next corner, not at Daytona!

Hope that helps! Farming the long haul is important, SAVE YOUR GOLD! Unfortunately there's really no good farming races in the NASCAR series. You have to look to LeMans for that. As soon as you can unlock a 10 lap LeMans race it gets easier. Although they are LONG races!!
