Would bring the Weeks aspect back.

Really Love the Daytona Roadcourse, sat through Rain at one of the Truck Races they had, that was a Fun Event!

And the draw was Thursday night. Just really set the whole tone for how big the event was. I miss it terribly.

We had Goody’s dash series in there too.

Auto racing, especially NASCAR, has been the only sport I’ve ever took a big interest in, and the preseason testing, Rolex 24, the practices and the ARCA season opener just before the Daytona shootout, help to pass the time and build anticipation for the return of NASCAR. There was even one preseason test session that had a big one wreck that took out most of the cars. Only a few cars were left for the next session. That was in the early 2010’s.

They were barely hitting 185 in the draft in the summer, and were hitting 187 during speed weeks. The year before that they were hitting 189, and the year before that 191ish.

Quite a few NASCAR drivers will be racing modifieds, late models, and/or sprint cars at Volusia and you can walk right through the pits anytime to see or meet them up close – NASCAR always has the Daytona 500 pace car at Volusia with some fan engagement activities. I always stay next to Daytona International Raceway; the hotel rates haven’t yet skyrocketed but there is a lot of activity prepping Daytona as the NASCAR hauler parade is the day after Volusia wraps up. So it is still possible to hit a 2 to 3 weeks of racing, it’s just not all at Daytona International Raceway.

Like all eligible NASCAR drivers but in IROC style cars. We get The Clash back at Daytona and an IROC race at the same time with no worries about drivers destroying cup cars. They could also add in the Xfinity and truck series champs from the last year if they needed rides to fill.
