It's about four-fifths as tall as Maxwell Montes
The height of Maxwell Montes is about 2 leagues.

The tri-oval course of the Daytona International Speedway, upon which the NASCAR Daytona 500 is run, is 0.7241470 leagues in length. Although the tri-oval design is said to allow for greater visibility during the race, the real reason for the then-unique design was that plot available for construction of the track was only 350 acres and could not accommodate a traditional oval layout of appropriate length.
