The event features NASCAR Tour Type Modifieds, 'SK' Modifieds, Florida Modifieds, Super Late Models, Late Models, Crate Engine-ASA Type Late Models, Winged Sprint Cars, and the Advance Auto Parts Pro-Trucks. Only Geoff Bodine and Pete Hamilton have won Championships at the annual event, and gone on in their careers to win the Daytona 500.
New Smyrna Speedway also hosts the annual
Florida Governor's Cup 200 Super Late Model race each November. Widely regarded as the most prestigious Super Late Model Race in Florida and is among the elite short track racing events in the Country.
The racing surface was repaved in January 2007.
Since the repaving project, the track has seen quite a few NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck teams use it for testing. Teams test for places such as Martinsville, Richmond, and even Phoenix. The new testing ban instituted by NASCAR has increased the draw of teams that test at the high-banked half-mile. Names that have tested there include Tony Stewart, Joey Logano, Greg Biffle, Ryan Newman, Clint Bowyer, Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Kurt Busch, Juan Pablo Montoya, David Ragan, and more.
