The Daytona International Speedway opened in 1959.
Bill France Sr. began planning for the Daytona track in 1953, in order to promote the Nascar series. This was due to the fact that a beach road course was being used for the Daytona races.
dirt was used to make banks in daytona there is a high sand content in the dirt. they had to dig deep into the earth to get clay-in order to build the 24 degree banks.
It filled with water naturally when dirt was dug up to put up the track's banking.
The lake is named for Joseph "Sax" Lloyd, one of the six original members of the Daytona Beach Speedway Authority.
