DAYTONA USA rolled out the red carpet on Thursday as the remake of the “The Daytona 500” made its premiere in the Pepsi Theater inside the “Official Attraction of NASCAR.” “The Daytona 500,” which gives the race fan the ultimate Daytona 500 film experience as they watch their favorite drivers and teams prepare for the “Great American Race,” is all new. Mentor Films captured a good portion of its filming of the “The Daytona 500” during Speedweeks 2002. “The Daytona 500” is a large-screen format film presented on a screen 55 feet wide and almost three stories tall. With such a large screen, the fan can feel as if they’re in the driver’s seat. The film also runs at 24 frames per second for a remarkably clear picture and add to that DAYTONA USA’s exclusive ThunderRound-Sound. To view the new “The Daytona 500,” purchase tickets to DAYTONA USA online at www.DAYTONAUSA.com or at the gate.(DIS PR)(1-31-2003)
