Daytona Paving Update

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (Nov. 4, 2004) -- The multi-million dollar, multi-faceted infield renovation project at historic Daytona International Speedway continues to reach new milestones each week.

The state-of-the-art tunnel in Turn 1 is now covered and the track embankment is taking shape. Work has begun on the wall and pavement is expected within the next week.

Other developments in the infield renovation project, which is scheduled to be complete in time for December's Daytona KartWeek, include: * Installation of garage doors on the NASCAR Busch Series garages. * Installation of the glass on the Daytona 500 Club is nearly complete. * In the FanZone, which will provide garage and inspection bay viewing, the steel for the shade structures and stairs is being installed.

Race fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the massive construction project can visit DAYTONA USA and take the Speedway Tour, which costs $7.50 plus tax. The Oldfield Grandstand is also open and free to the public.
