Daytona Speedweeks

MD's Picks

Our Deck Down Under - Best Seafood around and great atmosphere. Everyone knows and everyone goes!  Enjoy peel n' eat Shrimp under the Port Orange Bridge. Fried Seafood platters are the best around.

Port Orange, FL

The Garlic - The name says it all. If you are a vampire, do not enter. If you love great Italian food, it's a Speedweeks MUST.

New Smyrna Beach, FL

Racing's North Turn - The food is good, the ocean-front deck is breathtaking, and the racing history is tops.  It's a mini Hall of Fame of NASCAR and Daytona Beach Racing.  In two-trips during 2010 Speedweeks we have seen Cotton Owens dining and listening to his grandson play live music as well as Legends Bobby and Donnie Allison eating the restaurant that stands at the original North Turn of the Beach Course.

Ponce Inlet, FL

Brickyard (or Daytona Brickyard- Best Burger in town and in an awesome building just minutes from DIS on International Speedway Blvd. Television's Perrin brothers have hyped this local eatery for obvious reasons. Oh, it's the big triangle building in case you didn't know!

Daytona Beach, FL

Pub 44 - Going to the Short Track races at New Smyrna Speedway?  If so, afterwards head to Pub 44 on Route 44 minutes from the track for some good bar food and cold beer. They replay the races from Smyrna. Half the pit area goes there after the races.

New Smyrna Beach, FL

Daytona Video Spotlight

"THE GARLIC"

If you love Garlic... The Garlic in New Smyrna Beach Florida is where you need to go. Good friend Kevin Hughes (from Racing Electronics) takes us to the popular Italian restaurant. Check out our video feature on "The Garlic" and make sure you check it out for yourselves. It's worth the trip and the garlic-breath!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN...

We'll give you a good local joint to hit in Fontana, California for NASCAR Sprint Cup's week#2 on the road and maybe a special guest pick as well. Stay tuned.

While in Daytona... Check out the Short Track action at the 44th Annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway. If you can't go, you can follow it on Speed51.com. Volusia Speedway Park has Speedweeks' best Dirt Racing action!

Notes: Congrats to our friend Nikki Morse on his new show! The Racing Chef will air on SPEED and will be a great thing for Racing Foodies!
