After more than two years of redeveloping its nearly mile-long
frontstretch, Daytona International Speedway’s $400 million DAYTONA Rising
project is near completion.
On Tuesday, DIS received its temporary certificate of
occupancy which allows us to begin moving into the facility and
fully prepare for the upcoming race season. The world’s
first motorsports stadium will be ready for its debut later this month at the Rolex
24 At Daytona Weekend.
Since kicking off the project in July 2013, DIS has celebrated tremendous
milestones along the way including the DAYTONA Rising 500 groundbreaking
ceremony, the first-ever DAYTONA Rising Escalator Duel to activate the new
vertical transportation as well as the recent lighting of the massive
identification sign.
“After more than two years of dedication and hard work, we’re thrilled that
our new motorsports stadium is nearing completion,” said Daytona International
Speedway President Joie Chitwood III. “We’re thankful for the tremendous
support from our partners, project team and fans and can’t wait to welcome
everyone during the Rolex 24 At Daytona.”
DIS will mark the installation of the final seat during a special ceremony
on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
