The upgrades to the speedway are pretty sweet and the cost was a mere $400 million. [evil]

Renovate the bathrooms? [laugh]

:D They did do that amongst a whole bunch of shit.
Some of what was done. It started 3yrs ago.
"The Daytona Rising project will change all that. Steel construction began in October 2013 and will continue right through this year's Feb. 23 Daytona 500 and on until January 2016. The upgrades will redo the front stretch stands, putting in 101,000 new seats and raising the entire structure to 146 feet tall with three concourse levels. The ground floor will turn into a true service level, with the first main concourse rising 35 feet above the ground, fed by more than 40 escalators that account for 85-stories-worth of moving stairs. Five "injectors" (a Daytona-branded word for entrances) will funnel fans onto the lower concourse and the new technology-infused "neighborhoods" of amenities on the three levels, which feature new concessions, activities, and video. In short, it will be the first true stadium in racing."
How much did ticket prices go up?

Yep, but I can easily spend $600 in a strip club at the drop of a hat. ;)
DE Jr. has a "small business" ???
Coca-Cola 600 just dropped the green. [popcorn]
