Florida on the Fast Track - Daytona
How can you define Florida without its FAST TRACK? When racing competitions started on the beach in 1903, the new horseless carriages were only for the wealthy. The beach racing lasted into the 50s. The beach was 27 miles long, flat, and 500 feet wide. The first racing enthusiast traveled from England to compete against the Americans.
Bill France, Sr. founded the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing in 1948 in Daytona. “The World Center of Racing” was completed in 1959 and hosted the first Daytona 500 on Feb. 22. A crowd of more than 41,000 watched a field of 59 cars race. The finish was so close it took three days to determine Lee Petty had beaten Johnny Beauchamp.
