1 Dear Daytona Supercross By Honda competitors: On behalf of the France family and the staff at Daytona International Speedway, welcome to the World Center of Racing for the 2015 Daytona Supercross By Honda. Since 1971, Daytona International Speedway has staged the Daytona Supercross By Honda on its legendary trioval making it the longest continuous Supercross event in America. For the eighth straight year, the grueling and challenging course has been designed by Supercross legend and five-time event champion Ricky Carmichael. Compiled within this document, you will find information on restaurants, hotels, schedules and event contacts that will assist you in finalizing your plans for the Daytona Supercross By Honda. When you arrive at Daytona International Speedway you will see all the progress that we have made on DAYTONA Rising, the $400 million frontstretch renovation project that will be completed in January We have already opened some of the new amenities, including 40,000 new seats, two of the five injectors/entrances, new concessions, several of the neighborhoods or social areas and the new vertical transportation. For more information on DAYTONA Rising, visit I wish you all the best during the 2015 season and we look forward to seeing you here at Daytona in March for the Daytona Supercross By Honda. Sincerely, Joie Chitwood III President, Daytona International Speedway 1
