In NASCAR, they definitely save the best for first!

With most sports, champions are crowned at the end of the season. But the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series annually kicks off its auto racing season with its biggest, richest and most prestigious event - the Daytona 500.

Forty-three of the world’s best stock car drivers will tour the 2.5-mile track at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL in search of the season’s top prize. The winner will receive the year’s biggest purse while garnering the season’s first Sprint Cup championship points.

The Speedway was recently repaved for only the second time in history, offering drivers an entirely new racing experience than what they have become familiar with over the years. The only previous repaving came in 1987.

The winner of the Daytona 500 is presented with the Harley J. Earl Trophy and the winning car is displayed, in race-winning condition, for one year at the Daytona 500 Experience, a special museum and gallery located adjacent to the Speedway.

Of course, Daytona Beach also sits less than an hour’s drive from Orlando. Speed enthusiasts can head to the theme park capital of the world to enjoy a different kind of thrill aboard one of the many high flying roller coasters found in Orlando.

From SeaWorld Orlando to Universal Studios to Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando offers myriad coasters to satisfy the most ardent speed fans.

This year’s Daytona 500 is scheduled to be held Feb. 20, 2011, weather permitting.
