How have the heavy rains in Florida affected the Daytona International Speedway?
Daytona International Speedway drowning, track officials say there’s no serious damage Heavy rains in Daytona Beach have doused Daytona International Speedway. The track’s infield tunnels are filled with water and several feet of water have flooded the track. It’s like a two and a half mile river in the shape of a tri-oval, halfway up the SAFER barrier. DIS spokesman Andrew Booth said there’s no serious damage to the track. All its buildings are safe. “No damage to our grandstands or any buildings or anything like that,” Booth said. Booth said the track would be fine for July’s Coke Zero 400 and that the damage and flooding to residential areas around Volusia and Flagler counties are much more significant than what’s happened at the Speedway. For that reason, Booth said the speedway would not release photos. Sources: h
