<p>A future scheduling conflict between the "Super Bowl of NASCAR" and the actual Super Bowl has been resolved.</p>
<p>NASCAR announced Wednesday that the 2027 Daytona 500 will not take place during its traditional Presidents Day weekend slot to avoid going head-to-head with Super Bowl LXI.</p>
<p>The Cup Series' marquee race will move to Sunday, Feb. 21, one week after the NFL's championship game is held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>"It's a very crowded sports landscape in February of '27, including the Super Bowl scheduled for Feb. 14," Frank Kelleher, president of Daytona International Speedway, told the Daytona Beach News-Journal. "The decision was made to move the Daytona 500, to allow for it to stand on its own."</p>
<p>Kelleher said announcing the change 16 months in advance will give fans ample time to make travel plans for "The Great American Race" in Daytona Beach, Fla.</p>
<p>The scheduling conflict arose after the NFL added a 17th game to the regular season schedule in 2021.</p>
<p>"Our fans are the most loyal, and we know many of them make their travel plans over a year in advance for the Great American Race," Kelleher said.</p>
<p>The 2026 Daytona 500 remains on Presidents Day weekend, scheduled for Feb. 15. That's one week after Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.</p>
