‘The Greatest Spectacle In Racing’ is a trademark owned by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
On February 19th 2024, NASCAR’s official X (formerly Twitter) posted an image of Daytona International Raceway ahead of the Daytona 500, with the caption above it saying ‘The Greatest Spectacle In Racing’
