All you NASCAR racing fans get ready! A new season of NASCAR racing begins this week as we travel to Daytona for the Daytona 500! Today we’ll travel to the lovely city of Jacksonville, Florida, where we’ll spend the next two nights. Dinner tonight is included at a popular restaurant. (D)

We depart early this morning and travel to Daytona for the Super Bowl of NASCAR, the Daytona 500. Today the Daytona International Speedway will host the most anticipated event in racing history, the 68th running of the Daytona 500. Daytona has hosted this “Great American Race” annually since 1959. Each year the “World Center of Racing” hosts a two-week festival of speed known simply as Speedweeks. Every February, Speedweeks culminates with one of the world’s premier sporting events. The Daytona 500, the “crown jewel” of the NASCAR Cup Series is “the Great American Race.” Daytona International Speedway’s grandstands have more than 101,000 permanent seats and today our seats are located in Lower Turn 1. We hope that your favorite driver wins. We make our way back to Jacksonville for our final night. (L)

Today we pack our suitcases, sit back and leave the driving to someone else as we make our way home.
