About

Daytona Beach is a city in Volusia County,
Florida, USA. According to 2006 U.S. Census Bureau

Beach is a principal city of the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond
Beach, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area, which
the census bureau estimated had a 2006 population

Daytona
Beach is a year-round resort area. The city is historically
known for its motorsports, with both Daytona International
Speedway and the old Daytona Beach Road Course having
hosted races for over a century. The city is also
the headquarters for NASCAR and the Grand American
Road Racing Association. Daytona could accurately
be called a seasonal town, with large groups of out-of-towners
descending upon the city for various events, most
notably Speedweeks in early February when over 200,000
NASCAR fans come to attend the season-opening Daytona
500. Other events include the NASCAR Pepsi 400 race
in July (now Coke Zero 400), Bike Week in March, Biketoberfest
in October and Black College Reunion in March and
April. In the past Daytona Beach catered to spring
breakers, but in recent years many of the breakers
have migrated to other sites, like Panama City Beach.
Daytona Beach has tried to clean up its image but
in the last few years spring breakers have come back
again in smaller numbers.
