class was promoted to the Daytona 200. Second, the track configuration was changed such that the motorcycles would run through a short link after passing the Pedro Rodriguez hairpin, then run across the International Horseshoe anticlockwise, and then pass through the infield, rejoining the track on the Superstretch. This eliminated a half mile from the track, eliminated the west banking segment of the course, and thus increased the number of laps required for the race. For the 2009 Daytona 200, the new Daytona SportBikes will race the premier event; the first change to the racing series following the sale of the AMA Pro Racing series to the Daytona Motorsports Group on March 7, 2008. For 2009, the Daytona 200 returns to the 3.56 mile Daytona Speedway/Infield Course used in the 24 hours of Daytona.

The race has been one of the toughest in American motorcycling because of its endurance-like qualities of pit stops for tires and fuel, and safety car periods, and nine FIM world champions, including seven 500cc/MotoGP World Champions -- six Americans and one Italian -- have won the race. Of recent American world champions, only Kenny Roberts, Jr. did not win the Daytona 200. Finnish and Venezuelan FIM world champions in smaller classes have also won the 200.
