Touring the Daytona International Speedway

Last June as part of a conference that I attended in Daytona Beach, I went to the Daytona International Speedway. At first, I wasn't really excited to go since I'm not a race fan. The other option was to play golf, so I went to the tour. The speedway is almost a mini City, there is even a hospital inside. 

The group was taken in a behind the scene tour for 90 minutes. We were taken to the Drivers Meeting Room, the Garages, the Victory Lane, and the Press Box located above the Speedway. Andre, my husband, was jealous that I went to the speedway. He loves to play Gran Turismo on PS3 and I felt like I've seen this place before. I promised to take him there someday. The tour is $22 and even if you are not a sports fan it's a nice experience.





The color seats are a trick for the camera to appear full when the 150,000 seats are sold out.
