Motorsports at Daytona Beach (2)
The Daytona Beach area is a must visit for all motorsport enthusiasts. There are plenty of race parks and speedways including the world famous Daytona International Speedway
which covers 480-acres and is open 10 a. m. - 4 p. m. daily. This is the home to the biggest and richest stock car race, the Daytona 500.
There are three separate tours that take visitors inside the grounds race track. There is a VIP three-hour tour which is only available by advanced reservation on selected days throughout the year. Here you will see the wining car of the Daytona 500 get a chance to buy clothes in the souvenir shop as well as having a meal in the Fourth Turn grill.
You can enjoy the 60-minute All Access tour which allows visitors to see areas including the Daytona 500 Club, the Sprint Tower, the driver' s meeting room as well as the garages. There is also a thirty minute tour but I am not sure what that includes.
The Birthplace of Speed Park commemorates the first car race held on the adjacent beach in 1903. Here you will find a picnic area and restrooms. It is open each day as long as the sun is up and you can take some great photos.
