The Daytona 200 Monument was the dream of three-time Daytona 200 Champion Dick Klamfoth and his wife Bev as a place to honor the great riders who had won on the Beach.

Over the years, the Daytona 200 Monument has grown to embrace all the Daytona 200 Champions as well as Champions from all forms of racing and the Motorcycle Industry. Daytona Beach Bike Week attendees continue to support the Monument and return each year to celebrate and remember their visit to this famous beach.
