Enjoy The Great American Race With A Pit Stop In Orlando!

While most sporting events save their best for last, NASCAR does things a little differently…instead choosing to run their biggest, richest and most prestigious race as the first race of each new season.

 

The Daytona 500 truly is the Great American Race, featuring 43 of the world’s best stock car drivers taking 200 laps around on the famed 2.5 mile tri-oval at Daytona International Speedway. http://www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com/

 

Now more than 50 years after the inaugural Daytona 500 back on February 22, 1959, the event remains NASCAR’s most focal event.

 

That first 500 mile Daytona race was referred to as the "500-Mile International Sweepstakes" and offered the 59-car field a posted award amount of $67,760.

 

A crowd of 41,000 was in attendance to witness the beginning of what is now the biggest racing event on the calendar in Daytona. That race came right down to the wire, so close that the winner was too close to call. Johnny Beauchamp went to Victory Lane and soaked up the winner’s adoration although the results were posted as Unofficial. Then, 61-hours later, Lee Petty was declared the official winner thanks to a clip of newsreel footage that proved Petty to be the winner by a few scant feet.

 

Today, the Daytona 500 is the “Super Bowl” of racing, posting multi-million dollar awards with the winner garnering $1.5 million or more. Yet it is the prestige of winning at Daytona that keeps NASCAR’s best drivers coming back year after year. Each year, the Daytona 500 winning car is put on display inside the Daytona 500 Experience – the official attraction of NASCAR – for race fans to view and photograph. And the winning driver is forever immortalized with hand prints, a right foot print and an autograph in cement at the Daytona 500 Champions Walk of Fame.

 

Much like the first race, the Daytona 500 continues to carve out a history of exciting finishes. The 2007 race saw Kevin Harvick nipping Mark Martin at the finish line by a mere .020 seconds to win the closest Daytona 500 since the advent of computer scoring in 1993.

Of course, the race is only one of the focal points of any trip to Daytona and Central Florida.  Over the past decade, Daytona 500 Experience, formally known as DAYTONA USA, "The Official At the traction of NASCAR," has been delivering magical motorsports memories to both hard-core race fans and casual observers through an exciting variety of hands-on activities, challenging thrills and one-of-a-kind sights.

 

When visiting Daytona, it only makes sense to make a pit stop in nearby Orlando, FL where you’ll find an endless array of equally exciting thrills at the Walt Disney World® Resort, SeaWorld® Orlando and Universal Studios® Resort.

 

From high flying roller coasters to hundreds of other rides and attractions, Orlando remains the theme park capital of the world.

I need help with my puppy!?

I just got a coppernose beagle puppy who will be 12 weeks old. She followed me around and licked me and never left my side for the first week we had her. We've had her for a week and for the last few days she bites, nips, won't listen to "no", only comes to her name when she's in a different room, doesn't really pay attention, won't listen to "sit", only does the command when she is hungry and i have doggie snacks, etc. I don't think she respects me, and I don't know what to do. I can't teach her any commands because she doesn't pay attention to me (or won't pay attention for long). Can someone help me? I'm leaving for a week to go to Disney World with my dad and my mom is going to watch her. I'm 14 and I need some advice in training my puppy!
She shouldn't be afraid of me because I don't hit her, I only use "no" and I put her in her kennel for a few minutes when she is biting too much. (I hope I didn't forget anything else =])

Well, I can only speculate, but it sounds like she doesn't have any respect for you. Like most new puppies, she's probably been doted-on every waking minute. This makes a dog feel like you are their subordinate and they are the leader of the pack. Try reading some things on asserting your pack leadership (Cesar Milan is a good one for this) and see if she starts paying attention to you.

Below are some sites with the info that I believe will help you turn things back around pretty quickly and easily by reasserting your position as the pack leader.
