Automobile racing has grown and evolved in the Daytona Beach area since the turn of the
20th century. Daytona Beach is conveniently located 54 miles from Orlando on Florida’s Central
East Coast, just an hour’s drive from many popular theme parks and other favorite tourist destinations. If you are
traveling around Florida, Hurricane season, between August and December, can produce some unpleasant weather on the rare
occasion when a tropical storm chances to veer inland in the immediate vicinity. Many US families
brave the heat and flock to Daytona during the summer school holidays from the beginning of June
until the end of August.
The beach became well known because it was used as a proving ground for developing the
automobile engine. That technology was also put in use in developing aircraft engines for
World War II fighters. Thus, the world's eyes were on Daytona Beach each time an automobile
raced along the beach in the late '30s and early '40s attempting new land speed records.
Over the last four decades, NASCAR racing has continued to grow in popularity. More than
200, 000 race fans attend the association's premier race, the Daytona 500.
