Motorcycle Racers Honored By Daytona International Speedway DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (March 10, 2005) — Prominent Daytona motorcycle racers are side-by-side with their stock car and sports car racing brethren in historic Daytona International Speedway’s new Goodyear Legends of Daytona. The Goodyear Legends of Daytona is a walk of fame of sorts with large photographic and information panels honoring past racing legends that played a major part in making Daytona International Speedway “The World Center of Racing.” “We happy to be able to honor motorcycle racing legends who had great success at Daytona,” Speedway President Robin Braig said. “This will give younger fans an opportunity to learn a little about some of the past legends and hopefully spark some fond memories of those still around who had the opportunity to watch these riders during their racing careers.” Goodyear Legends of Daytona is situated in the NEXTEL FANZONE in the newly renovated infield of Daytona International Speedway. In addition to the Goodyear Legends of Daytona, fans in the NEXTEL FANZONE can mix and mingle in the Bistro, which pampers race guests with upscale, outside dining with non-traditional race fare. There are also large viewing windows into the NEXTEL Cup Series garages and a Fan Deck that gives fans a better view of the newly reconfigured 2.95-mile motorcycle road course. Motorcycle riders featured in the Goodyear Legends of Daytona include Freddie Spencer, Jeff Stanton, Kenny Roberts, Ricky Carmichael, Don Emde, Scott Russell, Cal Rayborn II, Mike Kiedrowski, Rick Johnson, Eddie Lawson, Jimmy Weinert, Dale Singleton, David Bailey, Dick Mann, Gene Romero, Giacomo Agostini, Jeremy McGrath, Bob Hannah, Gary Nixon, Miguel Duhamel and Roger Reiman. On Saturday, Spencer, who in 1985 won the 250cc International Lightweight race and the Formula One final before starting on the pole and winning the Daytona 200 By Honda, will be honored in the Goodyear Legends of Daytona in a ceremony at 12:30 p.m. Both fans and media are invited to the event. Tickets to any of the motorcycle races at Daytona International Speedway are available online at ~http://www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com~ or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.
