Daytona International Speedway has returned back on January 28th, 2017, with The Rolex 24 at Dayton that is held in Daytona Beach, Florida. One of the fun traditions Daytona has is the Daytona 5k and Fun Walk, where many run around the track and admiring the view of Daytona. This is one of the best and kind experience to start Daytona.

Daytona International Speedway is one of the largest outdoor stadium in the United States, and has a view of the Daytona Beach in Florida, but it is also known as the track of death where many drivers, such as Dale Eanhard in 2001, ended their lives in a crash.

The Rolex 24 at Daytona of 2017 introduced 55 drivers traveling on an average speed of 170 mph for 24 hours (yes, drivers had to drive till midnight!) Each of these drivers have been sponsored by a car company. The Rolex 24 at Daytona 2017 has been sponsored by Mazda and the Rolex watch company. The winner (including his team) will win the Rolex watch. The race is not only about winning the Role watch, but also about raising money for cancer patients as one of the drivers states.

During the race, Jimmy Johnson crashed in his Lexus car after two hours from the start of the race. The race ended safe and sound with the winners Max Angelelli, Rocky Taylor, and Jeff Gordon.

Tune in on Febraury 26, for the big day for Daytona 500.
