Jostens Releases Daytona Commemorative Track Collection Photo Book

Daytona Commemorative Track Collection Photo Book

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 18, 2010

Jostens, in conjunction with Daytona International Speedway® and The NASCAR Library Collection, today introduced a Daytona Commemorative Track Collection Photo Book that captures Daytona’s rich history through official Daytona images, iconic race stories, and a genuine Daytona Track Surface Medallion embedded in the cover. The Daytona Photo Book is an additional offering in Jostens’ growing new collection of NASCAR Fan Photo Books and part of Jostens’ limited edition Daytona Commemorative Track Collection memorabilia containing actual pieces of track from the celebrated racing landmark’s 2010 repaving project.

Race fans and collectors can now get the ultimate photo book that tells the story of one of the most storied race tracks in the world. The photo book has hundreds of officially licensed professional photographs directly from Daytona International Speedway’s archives that have not previously been made available. From the first Daytona 500® in 1959, Junior Johnson’s discovery of drafting, the infamous 1979 fight at the finish between Bobby and Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough, to The King and The Intimidator, if it happened in the more than 50 years of Daytona International Speedway racing, it is memorialized in this book.

“The stories from Daytona are simply legendary”, said Tricia Hamak-Sundeen, Director, Photo Books, Jostens. “Our team worked closely with Daytona International Speedway and NASCAR to design a book that not only captures these iconic moments, but also lets fans customize the book using Jostens’ exclusive online tools to tell their own one-of-a-kind Daytona story.”

Fans can order the photo book as is or customize it with their own photos, stories and memories from Daytona. The easy-to-use website, http://www.jostens.com/daytonabook, lets fans add pages with their own digital photos and text to tell their Daytona story – combined with Daytona images from the first race all the way up to the 2010 repave.

Quantities of these commemorative photo books are limited and available only while supplies last. For a complete listing of currently available genuine track pieces and to sign up for updates on the availability of new pieces, visit http://www.jostens.com/daytona or call 1.800.839.7125.

Daytona International Speedway, which was built in the late 1950s, has been resurfaced only once previously – in 1978. As part of the 2010 repave, the Daytona International Speedway’s entire 2.5-mile tri-oval will be repaved, including the skid pads, apron and pit road. Concrete will be used for the pit stalls. The repaving project has a target completion date of January 1, 2011.
