yes it will be there

katlizy - is that something new? As of a couple weeks ago I was told that it definitely wasn't going to be there by someone at NSS who had just spoken with NASCAR about it.

Matt your first sentence told why it should stay at Daytona

I'm sure the televised part played into it, i'm sure getting your name on a trophy from Daytona played a part as well. And both should. But from the fans point of view, which after all is the most important thing, the race was a cobbled together mess and gave the sport a black eye that wasn't necessary.
Racing on the Super Apron was i hope, a one time thing. Next year those cars need to be part of the show at NSS.

I attended only the late model race this year for the battle but an old dog like me GOT GOOSEBUMPS JUST DRIVING AROUND THROUGH TURN ONE to park my van to go to our seats.How do you think those young guys felt that night that were racing?I have been on a lot of racetracks in my time and never felt that feeling before.Not to mention the huge payday that came with that race that probably wont follow it to a new venue.Hey New Smyrnas impressive in its own right,but comparing it to daytona is like comparing microwave food to home cooked.Nascars mistake was in the poor promotion given to an inaugural event.My old hometrack Columbus Motor Speedway in Ohio,itself a Nascar affiliated weekly track never even mentioned this event during any of their saturday night shows in the summer of 2012.Also this event as described by Nascar IN THE months before it was supposed to be for state and track champions and top 10 point finishers in each state/track.Several of those boys told me in the auto graph session before the race they were making their 1st or almost first start ever in a late model that night.??????

My source is someone in the media, who asked me to cover the race for them, so I hope they are correct.

That is the reason for the musco lighting that is needed for televised events that they are installing

daytona race

I race the southern tour and at charlotte in the drivers meeting the rep from unoh said that we will be supporting the unoh battle of the beach at daytona once again and are excited about it to all of the crewcheifs and drivers ! Not sure what that means ,but it sounded like daytona to me ,maybe the front stretch like charllote ! Either way nss or daytona its an awesome televised race thats shorttrack all the way ! Cant wait for announcement!r

hey. you guys-----

The New Smyrna Raceway is going through major construction right now.

It's all good. You should see it, it's all good; I have seen it.

Too many things to list for here, now.

See you in two weeks.

N.s.s. ?

IMHO, that would explain the report of Muscov lighting fixtures being seen at N.S.S..
