excited for our legions of fans.”
Many flat track races are held
on dirt ovals, but the TT
moniker indicates turns in both
directions and a jump have
been incorporated into track
design for the DAYTONA TT. To
showcase the high speed and
intensity of the sport, the track
design will feature a fast,
sweeping left hand turn
alongside the frontstretch of
the famed circuit. The track’s
unique characteristics are
perfectly suited for the fast and
furious nature of America’s
longest running motorcycle
racing championship.
“Staging the DAYTONA TT
inside the motorsports stadium
will expose a new group of
guests to the many amenities
available following the recently
completed
$400
million
frontstretch renovation pro-
ject,” DIS Track President Chip
Wile said. “It’s also going to be
a great opportunity for racers
in American Flat Track to
compete inside the Speedway
battling for a coveted Daytona
trophy as part of Bike Week.”
