Restaurants/Clubs/Cafes:
Eating at an American race event boils (or broils) down to the age old tradition of tail-gating, that is throwing everything capable of consumption into the biggest possible cooking machine, with beer used as beverage, batter, and flavor, and making a show of it too! If you're a tailgating titan with some fine recipes, send them to me and I'll put together a special section of grandprixcities devoted to racing food.
Fast food kiosks abound in the circuit grounds, of course
Any number of places exist to eat out in Daytona Beach, including the area by the main pier at the beach, where you'll find concessions selling carnival style food & a couple of cool race themed bars. Got tips?

> WHAT NASCAR DRIVERS SAY ABOUT DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY
Kurt Busch NO. 5 LOWE'S CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO - On racing at Daytona "My mom and I visited here when I was about eight years old, and we went on the tour of the track. I remember how huge I thought this place was at the time, and how I was in awe of how steep the banking is and just how far it is from the tunnel over to turn two. Even now, it's still pretty amazing when you come through that tunnel. To be able to race at a track with as much history as this place has is awesome. I'm so honored to have gone to victory lane here. It's a dream come true."
