The history of Daytona International Speedway began in 1953 when Bill France Sr. realized the days of racing on the beach were numbered due to spreading land usage of a rapidly growing population and huge race crowds. France put his plans for the future of racing in Daytona Beach, Florida in motion on April 4, 1953 with a proposal to construct a permanent speedway facility. On August 16, 1954, France signed a contract with City of Daytona Beach and Volusia County officials to build what would become Daytona International Speedway, the "World Center of Racing." In 1957, land clearing began for the Speedway. The famous 31-degree highbanks were included in the design of the track so higher speeds could be achieved and to make it easier for fans to see the cars race around the 2.5-mile tri-oval. The dirt for the banking was taken from the infield and resulted in a 29-acre space that is known as Lake Lloyd.
Racing moved from the beach-road course to Daytona International Speedway in 1959 and the first DAYTONA 500 took place on February 22 in front of a crowd of over 41,000. Car entries included both hard tops and convertibles (it was the only DAYTONA 500 that included convertibles). The finish of the inaugural DAYTONA 500 was too close to call. Johnny Beauchamp went to Victory Lane, but 61 hours later Lee Petty was declared the official winner after a clip of newsreel footage showed that Petty nipped Beauchamp at the line by approximately two feet.
In 1961, the DAYTONA 200 motorcycle race was moved from the beach to the Speedway. The following year, DIS hosted the inaugural running of what is now known as the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA, North America’s most prestigious sports car race. The race was initially a three-hour race and became the 24-hour race we know it as today in 1966.
On July 5, 2013, ground broke on the $400 million DAYTONA Rising frontstretch renovation project that would transform the historic speedway into a state-of-the-art motorsports facility. The Speedway now has approximately 101,500 permanent, wider and more comfortable seats, 40 escalators, 17 elevators, twice as many restrooms, three times as many concession stands and three concourse levels that span the nearly mile-long frontstretch. In addition, the Speedway features over 60 luxury suites with trackside views and a completely revamped hospitality experience for corporate guests. The projected was completed in January 2016 and was awarded the SportsBusiness Journal’s prestigious Sports Business Award for Sports Facility of the Year.
The approximately 500-acre motorsports complex boasts the most diverse schedule of racing on the globe. In addition to at least nine major event weekends, the Speedway grounds are also used extensively for events that include concerts, civic and social gatherings, car shows, photo shoots, production vehicle testing and police motorcycle training. In addition, Daytona International Speedway showcases daily track tours and is home to the champion DAYTONA 500 car and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.

Rose Villa is a comfortable casual restaurant in a unique historic setting in Ormond Beach, Florida.

classic craft cocktails and an ample selection of wines.
Built in the late 1800’s, Rose Villa was established as a bed and breakfast in 1901.
A small exclusive adjunct to Henry Flagler’s Ormond Hotel, it accommodated important guests
who preferred more privacy than the famous hotel afforded. It thrived for many years,
later became a real estate office, and eventually began to suffer from its age.
The beautiful old building came back to life when it was purchased by Bill Jones in 2007.
With an amazing vision, he transformed the original Rose Villa into the Victorian jewel it is today.
From the bold cranberry and apple green colors on the outside to the magnificent custom
wallpapered walls and ceilings throughout, you are transported to the era
of the 1920’s with every minute detail.
Today, Rose Villa offers a polished casual atmosphere with Southern hospitality.
Whether you come to enjoy casual cocktails and conversation at the bar
or a leisurely dining experience, you will be charmed.
Feel free to explore the restored areas of our building. Ask about the secret door we use occasionally
as the speakeasy. Our media room, equipped with a large monitor for presentations
and videos is available for private parties and dinner meetings.
The Veranda & the Gazebo are open for cocktails, lunch, and dinner during the temperate months.
We are working to weatherize both areas to extend our outdoor season.

Traditionally pubs are drinking establishments with little emphasis placed on the serving of food. The term Gastropub, a portmanteau of gastronomy and pub, originated in the United Kingdom in the late 20th century. It was first coined in 1991 when David Eyre and Mike Belben bought The Eagle pub in Clerkenwell, London and took its food to the next level. The concept of a restaurant in a pub had been born. The Gastropub phenomenon then took off in the United States in the early 1990s as new concepts such as Fords Filling Station, The Spotted Pig, and the Breslin started appearing all over the country.
Not to be outdone Ormond Beach now has a Gastropub to call its own. A truly unique experience, Grind is a gathering place much like a neighborhood pub, offering wonderfully diverse menu options in a warm cozy environment. Leave pretentious at the door and relax while you explore our selections.
