The Great American Race: The Daytona 500
February 05, 2010
You didn’t forget, did you? I mean, it’s only NASCAR’s biggest, richest, most prestigious race.

I’m talking about the Daytona 500, of course! “The Great American Race” – as it has been dubbed – is about to roar into town on Feb. 14, 2010. There's lots more incredible racing action, too, like the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200, the Budweiser Shootout, the Gatorade Duel and more.

Check out the schedule and ticket info here, and, if at all possible, don’t miss out on the fun.

Want to get on the famed raceway yourself? And yes, I mean in an actual race car. You can, with the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Check out this video of me climbing behind the wheel for some thrills.
