The first Daytona 500 was on Febuary 22, 1959. And NASCAR has been established before the start of the Daytona 500, so the answer your question...no. No, it was not. For example, for most of the time that NASCAR raced there, the now gone, Riverside International Raceway (CA), a road course was the first race of the season. There was no "Daytona 500" until the speedway was built in 1959. Even before that, the races on the beach at Daytona were not the first race of the season.
What year was the first nationally televised Daytona 500?
The booth announcers for the 1979 Daytona 500 were Ken Squier, David Hobbs and Chris Economaki. This was the first race shown live in its entirety on national television.
