In Daytona Beach, the roar of the beach is rivaled by the roar of the engines. Daytona International Speedway is home to numerous races each year, including NASCAR’s Coke 400 and Daytona 500. In front of the building is the “Walk of Fame” which honors those NASCAR drivers who have won at the 500.
You can see tributes to racing legends, such as Dale Earnhardt Sr.
When there is no event, the speedway offers a track tour. It’s amazing to see first-hand the steepness of the track’s banks; seeing it on television doesn’t do it justice. If you listen close enough, you can almost hear the most famous words in motor sports: “Gentlemen, start your engines”, and the second most famous words: “Boogity, boogity, boogity: let’s go racing boys”.
Another highlight of the tour is a tour of a garage area:
After the track tour, you get to watch a short film highlighting racing heroes. As you are leaving, you get to see the car that won the previous Daytona 500, which was Dale Jr. when we were there.
