Boogity, Boogity, Boogity - LET'S GO NASCAR CAMPING PEOPLE!

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity - LET'S GO NASCAR CAMPING PEOPLE!!!

As the Budweiser Speedweeks kicks off this week, it's time for me to dust off the ole keyboard and get busy blogging again for the 2015 NASCAR racing season.

Let's start the week with my check up with the Daytona International Speedway ticketing office and the camping availability for the upcoming #Daytona500**.

- Premium Camping Sites with hook ups - SOLD OUT
- Geico Grounds Red/Yellow/Green (non-Hook Up) sites - Limited Availability for access to the infield starting February 17 - 23, but are expected to sell out.
- Horseshoe Camping Sites - Available with the "extended stay" option without having to move locations later, from February 13 - 23rd.
- Geico Campgrounds - Spots are available for February 17 - 23.
- Geico Park West - Spots available but requires separate grandstand ticket purchase for the races.

I was cautioned NOT to wait too long to purchase infield camping site & tickets, as they said they normally sell out, and with Speedweeks starting they are expecting sales for these spots to go quickly as excitement for the races build up.

So who's hanging out in Daytona for the 2015 Speedweeks & Daytona 500?
