Historic Daytona NASCAR Venue Hosts Oceanfront Condominium Groundbreaking Party











Ponce Inlet, FL (PRWEB) June 5, 2007

On June 7, 2007, join Cranewoods Development and HCM Construction as they celebrate groundbreaking for The Beach Club Cottages at Ponce Inlet. From 5PM until 8PM, real estate agents, brokers and prospective buyers will gather at Racing’s North Turn Restaurant on the beach just south of Daytona in Ponce Inlet.

Property tours will be available at the site of these Florida oceanfront homes. Details of The Beach Club Cottages at Ponce Inlet project — including the West Indies inspired architecture and open beach floor plans — will be provided.

The Beach Club Cottages oceanfront condominium project has been designed with a wide range of owners in mind. Full time residents, homebuyers seeking Florida vacation homes as well as those looking for a Florida tax-deferred 1031 exchange will all appreciate the spacious interiors, natural stone floors and private ocean views. Likewise, all residents of these Florida oceanfront homes will appreciate the privacy and beauty of natural dunes and enjoy the pristine beach community atmosphere.

The Beach Club Cottages luxury oceanfront condominium homes at Ponce Inlet are available now with pre-construction pricing and gives residents access to all that Ponce Inlet provides — including unspoiled shoreline, local marinas, outdoor activities and great restaurants.

Racing’s North Turn Beach Bar and Grille bridges the Atlantic Coast automobile and motorcycle racing history and Florida’s oceanfront entertainment and dining. An important piece of NASCAR history, Racing’s North Turn is appropriately named for the location of the North turn of the Daytona Beach racetrack, which was used from 1936 – 1958 for Daytona’s Grand National Race.

The course ran south along Daytona Beach past the site of the Beach Club Cottages. Though the oceanfront and Racing’s North Turn have changed over time, the history of the site remains vital to the Daytona and Ponce Inlet communities – as it will continue to do upon completion of The Beach Club Cottages Luxury Oceanfront Condominium Homes.

Historic Columbia Speedway Re-opens After Thirty Years











Columbia, SC (PRWEB) April 19, 2009

The Columbia Speedway opened in 1948 to a crowd of over ten thousand spectators and proceeded to produce records until its closing in the late ’70s. The facility began running NASCAR sanctioned Grand National (Now Sprint Cup) events in 1951. In addition to launching Richard Petty’s racing career, Columbia Speedway was the location of Buck Baker’s first win and later Chevrolet’s first win in the NASCAR Grand National division when Fonty Flock drove a ’55 Chevy to victory on March 26, 1955. Buddy Baker has great respect for the site of his first race saying, “I’ve left that place embarrassed many times. This was a very import race track in NASCAR history. I’m glad to see it being used for this event.” With Columbia Speedway’s unusual Thursday night race schedule, competitors were able to compete there and travel to other venues for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday racing.

Some thirty years after its last race, setting records are still the order for Columbia Speedway. Spectators are expected to exceed twenty-thousand for the First Annual Love Chevrolet Spring Festival and Racers Reunion where Love Chevrolet intends to unveil the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. This will be the first time the new Camaro has been seen at such an event. Also filling the bill of festival activities, a host of legendary race car drivers will be on hand for two autograph sessions. Ned Jarrett, Buddy Baker, Rex White, Dave Marcis, and more have confirmed their plans to attend this historic event which will host one of the Southeast’s largest car shows and vintage race car exhibits.

The event has been organized by RacersReunion.com and RacersReunion Events of Myrtle Beach, SC. Admission and parking are free. Gates open Saturday April 25th at 9:00 am and festival activities will end at 6:00 pm. The speedway is located two minutes off Interstates 26, and 77 at 2001 Charleston Highway, Cayce, SC, 29033.
