"DAYTONA BEACH , Fla., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For over 50 years, Daytona Beach has been the mecca of motorsports racing due to the vision of 'Big' Bill France. Where there was nothing but open fields and saw grass, he envisioned huge crowds cheering the fastest cars and drivers racing at a spectacular world-class facility. Through the France Family's hard work, the 'Great American Race,' the Daytona 500, put Daytona Beach on the global sports map.
"Officially introduced today as the International Motorsports Center, the eight-story headquarters building under construction directly across from Daytona International Speedway, is designed to carry on the great heritage of motorsports that is synonymous with the France Family and Daytona Beach. The International Motorsports Center, scheduled to be completed in late 2009, will serve as the world headquarters for International Speedway Corporation ('ISC'), NASCAR and Grand-Am Racing Association ('Grand-Am')."
