SPECIAL TO THE DAYTONA TIMES

Ghosts and goblins will be on the prowl as Daytona International Speedway gets in the Halloween spirit with its All-Access track tours at the “World Center of Racing.”

Beginning Oct. 22 through Oct. 29, the All-Access tour, the 90-minute tour of Daytona International Speedway, will have a Halloween theme with decorations throughout many of its stops on the property as well as trick-or-treating for children in costume.

Daytona International Speedway will also stage a “Best Costume” photo contest for children 12 and under with the winner receiving four tickets to the 55th annual Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 24.

Pictures of contestants will be uploaded to Daytona International Speedway’s Facebook page – www.facebook.com/DaytonaInternationalSpeedway – and fans will be able to vote on their favorite between Oct. 30 and Nov. 7.

There will be special pricing available for the Halloween-themed All-Access tours between Oct. 22-29, with children ages 6-12 wearing their Halloween costumes receiving a $10 admission, a savings of 40 percent. Adult tickets are available for $23 and children 5 and under are free.

The 90-minute All-Access Tour runs daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. taking guests on an open-air tram through Daytona International Speedway’s garage area, pit road and the 31-degree high banks. Among the tour stops include the start/finish line, Gatorade Victory Lane, the Driver’s Meeting Room and the Houston Lawing Press Box.
