The Daytona 500 is called "The Super Bowl of Racing" for a reason. Whether it's the culmination to five days of action on the track, the sheer size and scope of activity taking place at Daytona International Speedway, or the fact that one of the most important races on the NASCAR calendar opens up the season ever year, FOX Sports always meets the moment down in Daytona Beach, FL.
Prior to this weekend's Daytona 500, FOX Sports' EVP of Technical & Field Operations Mike Davies and Coordinating Technical Producer George Grill dive into the technological standouts to watch out for on the broadcast; runs through the cameras being used on and around the track; the technical and operational challenges that the crew encounters every year; how the broadcaster balances the requirements of their full motorsports portfolio, which also includes the IndyCar Series and the marquee event that is the Indianapolis 500; and what it means to be a part of FOX Sports' 23rd presentation of the Daytona 500, which is the most by any television network in NASCAR history.
