Despite Sleet & Snow - NASCAR Racing is Almost Upon Us Starting at Daytona International Speedway



     Wow, it seems we were just watching the tail end of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Now, despite snow and sleet falling from the Deep South to the Northeast, the 2011 NASCAR racing season will quickly be upon us. A newly resurfaced Daytona International Speedway, which drivers describe as smoother with more grip, and a 10 foot wider pit road, bode well for fans and drivers alike in the upcoming 2011 season that will start for fans in less than two weeks.
