The DRIVEFORCOPD 300 is traditionally the first race of the NASCAR Nationwide Series and will be held at the Daytona International Speedway. It takes place one day before the Daytona 500 and is considered the most prestigious race in the entire racing calendar the Nationwide Series. Until the 2002 season, it was the only race of the series, which was held at the Daytona International Speedway.

The race goes back to that at the Daytona Beach Road Course during the season 1948, the so-called " Modified Series ". Between 1950 and 1958 it was part of the Modified or Sportman Series, which were held on the beach course in Daytona Beach. It was always on the Friday or Saturday before the race, the Grand National Series held on the course.

For season 1959, the race moved to the newly constructed 2.5 -mile Daytona International Speedway. The day before the Daytona 500 has been recognized as a race date, the race distance was either 200 or 250 miles. In 1966, the race was called Permatex 300 and it was the second sanctioned by NASCAR race, which was named after a sponsor. In 1968 it was transferred from the Modified Division in the newly organized Late Model Sportsman Division, now the Nationwide Series.

In the 1970s and early 1980s, the race was often ridiculed by the local media as regularly passed major accidents and mass crash. For many of these accidents, the less experience some of the drivers and the older equipment was blamed.
