Back in '07 my dad won all expense paid trip to the Daytona 500. Guess who got to tag along. It was the BEST race experience ever. They took us around on one of those Hot Laps. I honestly don't think NASCAR will ever be the same for me again. They had us sitting in the suites right behind the checker line. I have a picture somewhere with my name on the start/finish line. We stayed right on the beach... they took us deep sea fishing (I was the only girl there and I was the only person who caught 2 fish.. yay me). I actually haven't been to a race since. We got to meet Jimmy Jack Ass and Mark Martin(dude is super short).
Daytona is beyond awesome.. as long as you have the $ for it.. or someone else is paying.
Once they put the Stang and Challenger bodies in the Cup series, GM might bring it.
