Even before it was Daytona Beach, our area has long been known for exciting, high speed racing. In the early 1900s, daring drivers set speed records on our packed beaches. Since 1959, the greatest auto races on Earth have taken place at Daytona International Speedway, making famous names like Petty and Earnhardt.

We hope you enjoy this one-of-a-kind cruise down memory lane.
