Texas has had a long history of racing; we’ve seen several drivers win and become champions. Sadly though we’ve seen many lost their lives way too soon. Some of them have died at Daytona. Since the Daytona International Speedway has opened up in 1959, a total of 41 people have died at the track; including Neil Bonnet, Don Williams Jr and Dale Earnhardt. Among those fatalities, 3 have been from Texas.
