In
addition to hosting events during Budweiser Speedweeks 2014 and the 56th
annual DAYTONA 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, Daytona International
Speedway continued construction on the Daytona Rising project. The Speedway is
now gearing up for Daytona 200 Week on March 7-15.
A recap
of key construction activities during February and March includes February
includes installation of steel installation and detailing in the east and west
ends of the project, stair installation in the east and west ends, concrete footing
installation near Injector 1 on the west end of the project and a poured concrete
wall for Injector 2, as well as poured concrete for decks near the west end of
project and continued masonry work on the east end near Injector 4, known as
the Toyota Injector.
“We’ve
been able to make significant progress during our busiest time of the year,”
said Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III. “We will
continue to build on the recent momentum and are also committed to delivering a
great experience to fans during DAYTONA 200 Week.”
Due
to Daytona Rising construction activities, demo rides will move to the
Speedway’s backstretch near Midway Boulevard from Friday, March 7 through
Saturday, March 15 (Harley-Davidson will continue running demo rides from the
usual location at the corner of Richard Petty Boulevard and Midway Boulevard). Motorcycle
fans may enter at Gate 70 off Midway Blvd. via motorcycle or car. A tram will
also be running continuously from the Midway in Turn 4 to the demo ride area
for those on foot.
