DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - DAYTONA RISING, the newest attraction at Daytona International Speedway and the result of a $400 million investment in a new grandstand complex to create a motorsports stadium, is officially open for business.
Lesa France Kennedy and Jim France were present at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday at the track, in the center injector area, which sees the Rolex 24 at Daytona kick off the North American road racing season.
