The Daytona 200 is a 68-lap, 200-mile (320 km) motorcycle race held annually at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The race has been one of the toughest in American motorcycling because of its endurance-like qualities of pit stops for tires and fuel.
In 1962 the winner was Don Burnett on a Triumph, the last Norton to win the race was in 1952 with Dick Klamfoth.

Dick Klamfoth burst onto the motorcycle racing scene by wining the Daytona 200 in 1949, on his very first attempt. Klamfoth continued on to win the spring classic again in 1951 and 1952 to become the first three-time winner of America's most famous motorcycle race.
