My family and I attended the 2009 Daytona 500

Was kind of an anti-climactic ending being red-flagged after 152 laps... but we had a good time anyway.

View of the main grandstands from our seats on the backstretch.

F-15 flyover before start

The Chevy Camaro pace car was driven by Tom Cruise

Pace lap coming around turn 2

My son posing with cars rounding turn 2 and heading down the back "superstretch"

Daytona is a 2.5 mile track so they do 200 laps for the 500 mile race. Most people don't have an appreciation for just how big the track is when they only see it on TV.

The back superstretch with turn 3 and 4 in the background

moving slow under caution
