**IROC XIV** was the fourteenth year of the [International Race of Champions](/source/IROC) auto racing competition. It took place in 1990 and was the first year the [Dodge Daytona](/source/Dodge_Daytona) was used in competition, and continued the format introduced in [IROC VIII](/source/IROC_VIII). Due to not getting enough test time for the new cars, the originally scheduled opener at [Daytona International Speedway](/source/Daytona_International_Speedway) was canceled. Race one took place on the [Talladega Superspeedway](/source/Talladega_Superspeedway), race two took place at [Burke Lakefront Airport](/source/Grand_Prix_of_Cleveland), and race three ran at [Michigan International Speedway](/source/Michigan_International_Speedway). [Dale Earnhardt](/source/Dale_Earnhardt) won the series championship, his first of four, and won $175,000.
