Daytona 500 Travel Ideas
Start with the racing history if you love Daytona 500 then this is a place to visit for all the right reasons, including the beach. This is Dayton Beach located in the state of Florida and has severed as home to a historic racing event that occurs every year. In fact there are several reasons to visit this location both because of the history associated with the race and racing in general, but there other activities to attend and having a party with party supplies for other guest is just as important. As mention earlier the Dayton 500 has been around for a long time. Back in 1959 the racing of the Daytona 500 got underway with the first winner being Lee Petty. The amount he won at the time would today not cover some weddings as the first winner he was awarded a prize of 19000 dollars. Still 19000 dollars would today still buy a lot of party supplies, under most cases it could furnish several of them with needed party supplies. Wind the clock forward to a more current year to find out that the 2009 winner of the Daytona 500 took home a prize package of more then 1.5 millions dollars for a day’s worth of racing. The track has seen history made and seen the losses, some greater then the wins. Such occurred back in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt lost his life on the track. Any loss of a drivers life will over shadow the race and the winner, but this was the loss of one of the greats of racing. A bitter sweet celebration took place three years after the death of Dale Earnhardt, when his son won the Dayton 500. The loss of the legend and his accomplishments have over shadowed his son for most of his racing career. While other racers like Tony Stewart who have been in racing for some time are looking for their first Dayton 500. More ideas for Daytona 500
