I believe they go back to the manufacture for recycling, the longevity of tires depends on: track conditions and surface, how the car is set up, and how soft or hard the tire is, (a soft tire will wear-out much quicker than a hard tire).

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.
I think it was the 1972 Daytona 500. One of the 500's was the first fully televised race.
In the 1998 Daytona 500, the national anthem was sung by country music artist Jewel. Her performance took place before the start of the race, which is a tradition in major sporting events. Jewel's rendition was well-received and remains memorable among fans of the event.
The 2011 Daytona 500 featured a performance by country music star Carrie Underwood, who sang the national anthem before the race. Additionally, the pre-race festivities included performances by other artists, but Underwood's rendition of the anthem was the highlight.
The 1979 Daytona 500
The Daytona 500 coverage started at 1PM Eastern time. Of course there was the national anthem, invocation, fly over, etc, so it was closer to 1:45PM by the time they dropped the green flag.
