Daytona Speedway - A Great Family Holiday Destination
Race Excitement at Daytona Speedway 
Are you looking at perhaps taking the family to the NASCAR races this year? Then you should have a closer look at Daytona International Speedway.
Daytona International Speedway -"The World Center of Racing."
Daytona International Speedway is located in downtown Daytona Beach, Florida. It's a 2.5 mile super speedway that was built in 1959 by Bill France, Sr., who was also the founder of NASCAR.
(National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing), hence the phrase - NASCAR races!
Even if you're not a race fan, you simply have to visit this amazing facility. There's even a race museum on site called Daytona USA. It's the 'Ultimate Motorsports Attraction.' This complex is an exciting fan friendly attraction located at the speedway. It gives the fans an interactive experience and education into the world of stock car racing. It truly has become a major tourist attraction.
I definitely recommend taking the track tour. There are a couple of tours to choose from, where you and your family can experience the incredible high 33 degree banking in the turns. Words cannot describe the High Banks of Daytona Speedway. You get a first- hand look at race garages, victory lane, press boxes and more. It makes the whole Daytona experience complete. Check out the Daytona International Speedway website for more complete details on this and events taking place at the track.
There are two premier series NASCAR events each year at Daytona, along with many other various events throughout the year.
Daytona 500 - The Biggest Event at Daytona Speedway
The series kicks off the season with the biggest race of the year located at Daytona speedway and I'm sure you've all heard of it at some point. It's called the "Daytona 500". It is the most prestigious stock car race in the world.
The next major race event is in the summer normally over the Independence Day Holiday Weekend. The race track has lights erected so the summer race is held in the evening. Watching a race under the lights is spectacular, even the drivers prefer to race at night under the lights! Our family attended the NASCAR races at Daytona in conjunction with a summer vacation to Disney World Florida. We travelled all the way from the west coast of Canada and memories of this holiday will last a lifetime.
With a little careful planning ahead, we were able to take in so much over the 2 week visit, keeping all members of the family happy. Daytona Beach is about a 1 .5 hour drive from Disney World, making it easily accessible. You can enjoy a few days in Disney World, take in Daytona Beach and the NASCAR races and enjoy the surf, sun and sand at the same time. There's over 25 miles of beach along the shores of Daytona Beach that are lined with accommodations to suit you and your family budget.
From beaches, fishing, golf, dining to stock car racing, Daytona has everything for you and your family. One other stop we made was to the Kennedy Space Center. It definitely is worthwhile and enjoyable for the whole family.
So stop thinking about attending the NASCAR races and consider Daytona speedway as an option. You won't be disappointed. It has been without a doubt, one of the best vacations we have taken as a family and one of the most exciting race events attended as well.
Why not plan to attend Daytona Speedway this year.
Happy travels!

Racing Experience?
Has anyone tried the Nascar Racing Experience? I'm thinking about driving at Talledega and I wanted to know if anyone has tried it and are the cars easy to control. I have done a lot of reading and it says all of the cars are bought from leading teams like Hendrick and Rousch, so they must be good quality cars! Just seeing how many people have tried it?

what was you're first live nascar race experience like?
Nascar fans, explain what it was like when you all went to your first live Nascar race. tell us if it was as good or better then you expected and tell us how many lives races have you all been to as well.
for me, my first live race was last year at the Milwaukee Mile. it was the best experience i had. it was beyond better then what i thought it was going to be. i remember when i first got to the track, i thought to myself, that this is were i belong. i found the atmosphere to be very electrifying. it didn't matter if you were wearing a Jeff Gordon shirt, or dale Earnhardt Jr. shirt, no one booed you are called you names for what you wore, we were like one big happy family.
i remember it was quite louder then what it's like on tv. you Nascar YA's guys even told me to wear earplugs because of this, but i chose not too, because i wanted to experience the race and the events around it as best as possible.
i've been to two more live Nascar races ever since, they both were at the Milwaukee Mile for the nationwide and Craftsman Truck Series. i have plans to go to the Brickyard race next year. i already ordered my tickets. i can't wait. what a blast it sure has been at these live races. it's also best to go to these live races, cause you don't have to wait for pesky commercial breaks during a race as well.
please note: i do bring up and talk about the Milwaukee Mile in the Nascar YA's a lot because that is my hometrack, and i look forward to going there whenever Nascar comes to town.
