If you haven't visited the infield at Daytona International Speedway, you owe it to yourself.
I dropped by on Saturday to do a story about cooking among the people camping out before the Budweiser Shootout. It was a full-on party with lots of good food, and this was for a race that was pretty inconsequential. Wait until the Daytona 500 cranks up this weekend.
My favorite moment came while strolling through the Sprint Fan Zone just behind pit row.
The people were all gathered around one of the windows that allows fans to look into a garage bay and watch crews work on cars. Occasionally a driver will step in and check things out. That's what was happening here. Hence the crowd.
A closer look at the young lady in the back of the group revealed an interesting detail:
Stay classy, Daytona.
Anyway, here are some photos I shot on Saturday. And here's a video I put together (If the image of people drinking and having fun offends you, don't click):
