The
city is historically known as having a beach where the hard packed sand
allows motorized vehicles to drive on the beach in restricted areas. This
hard packed sand made Daytona Beach a mecca for motorsports, with the old
Daytona Beach Road Course having hosted races for over 50 years. This
course was replaced in 1959 by the Daytona International Speedway. The
city is also the headquarters for NASCAR and the Grand American Road
Racing Association.
Daytona
Beach is a year-round family-friendly resort area, but could also
accurately be called a seasonal town, with large groups of out-of-towners
descending upon the city for various events, most notably Speedweeks in
early February when over 200,000 NASCAR fans come to attend the
season-opening Daytona 500. Other events include the NASCAR Coke Zero 400
race in July, Bike Week in early March, Biketoberfest in mid October, and
the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race in January. In the past
Daytona Beach catered to spring breakers, but in recent years most of the
vacationers have migrated to other sites, like Panama City Beach.
