well good morning everyone check it out beautiful sunshine and palm trees as we enter you can see it
in front of me Daytona International Speedway for a week of Awesomeness starting right now heck yeah
good morning everyone we gotta go this way this sign wants infield camping to go over here for
some some staging boy it was uh tough to get these tickets guys but uh we are gonna have a blast uh
it is currently Monday the 13th today and we don't check out until Monday the I think 19th of next
week these are all the outdoor area campers that are gonna get in the grandstands but we're doing
something spectacular the best thing ever we're gonna Camp inside the track in the infield we
got to get checked in though still so uh we got a long long morning ahead all right following this
uh golf cart here another sign for infield camping I like this new system this wasn't in place when
I started going to these Daytona races it was a long long line out there almost all the way
out to Interstate four but now they do all their inspections and run through and check your RV and
and all that stuff and give you everything out here and then they bring you inside the tunnel
here people can check in now anytime between now and right up until the race there's different
times they'll open it up but I think there's a lot of benefits to getting here early early
first and as you can see we are literally probably I'm gonna say the 10th or 12th RV checking in for
Daytona we are early guys awesome all right they did their little checks around they want to look
in all the cubby holes they don't go inside your RV anymore at least not here I don't think they're
going to they used to I remember one year they made me open the bathroom door they wanted to
look in there they want to look in the top area inside the RV and uh yeah anyway got my wristband
it's orange this year for the infield pass which means and there is one more wristband that I got
with this more on this later by the way this is a sold out event this sold out March of last year
actually and I was really bummed that I couldn't go and then I had a friend with a ticket and said
I can't go but here if you want to go just pay the face value of the tickets you can go
literally did not plan This I Swear guys I also got a little Daytona package for the little goodie
bag with schedule and all the races going on this week so we're close they have moved this row past
us over onto the right and we are the next road to go in under the tunnel and get parked for the week
ah check it out they're waving us through the green flag and the checkered flag it's racing time
oh so excited there is nothing like the Daytona 500 experience of course I want to do some more
tracks uh possibly even this year more on that later but for right now we have got to start the
season off officially here at the Daytona 500. oh this is gonna be an awesome week just an awesome
Epic week all right we got one more sharp right hand turn to make to go through and then we are
gonna find our way on the infield here guys again all of these people camping outside
while it might be a lot cheaper to camp out there you know you still got to buy tickets to
get inside and sit in a seat and that's just just not the just not what I want to do so
we are going this way I've been here a few times before so this is all familiar right
in front of us where that white trailer is off to the left that's where you have to park your
motorcycle because they won't allow you to bring motorcycles in so I didn't even bother
with it this year I'll let you know what's going on uh when we get parked here here we
go this is the front stretch and the start of turn one and we're going underneath the tunnel
of the track here at the Daytona International Speedway look how freaking awesome this is guys
they did get a little bit of rain so there's some moisture on there we got it
stick and now we will go up this hill here and we are officially
in the infield somebody's still blowing their horn back there look at that started
all right Geico grounds yellow off to our left we're not doing it we're not doing it this year
guys we're doing something totally different Goodbye Yellow horseshoe Loop and turn one we
are going to the opposite corner of the track folks and if you look off to our right you can
see the bank of turn one going into turn two here look at that bank guys yeah a lot
of people these are all premium sites they actually got to check in on Saturday they
will be here for nine days in these premium sites these are four to five thousand dollars
I'm not kidding and they can't even make it one week they're already pumping their poop
I can Boondock for one week no problem no problem at all but uh yeah let's go find our parking spot
over in Geico green turn four okay now I'm seeing numbers off to our left there we go 89 88 87.
86 probably and 85 right here how do we want to do this all right well there are some clear benefits
to getting here early and that is parking is easy as we go throughout the week you are going to find
more and more that it is trickier for Arby's to fit in last minute so I'm glad I am comfortable
I am so excited this is gonna be so awesome and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you all
speaking of sharing it with you all I'm uploading this video with the new Nomad air modem through
Nomad internet link below in the video description guys you got to get your hands on one of these
because this is the only way you're going to make it out there on the road speeds up to 100 megabits
per second truly unlimited unthrottled I'm gonna put some links in the video description to get 25
off plus 10 off all merchandise including the Nomad air link below in the video description
check it out now guys you are going to love it as much as I do I've still got to familiarize myself
with the schedule this week I believe there are four different races Friday two on Saturday got
the duels and then the big NASCAR race and as you can see I'm wearing my Kevin Harvick shirt this
is really special to me because we just found out that this will be Kevin Harvick's very last race
he is retiring after this season which means I'm gonna have to root for someone else next
year or whoever else is driving the number four Busch Light car but uh Kevin Harvick has retired
it's been a heck of a heck of a career for him he is moving on to Fox sports broadcasting very very
good uh plan there buddy anyways be rooting you on this Sunday as well as The Clash on Saturday
there's turn four banking right there yeah I got to get a few more things set up I'll get back to
here once I get a little more comfortable oh let me tell you first though so I didn't
bring the car didn't bring the motorcycle and I didn't bring the trailer just wanted to simplify
everything I've got everything stored at a friend's house in Daytona and uh I may have
a friend joining me in their tow vehicle for the other wristband for later this week more on that
later all right slowly starting to get everything together I got the cat playpen and then we got
Opie and Tara in here playing fighting who's winning are you guys doing some WWE wrestling
get her Opie Opie's been like kind of doing laps Tara doesn't want to run too much but she
does play with Opie hi Opie iopy hi Tara how's my kitties you guys play okay got
lots of room to run around and get out all that energies okay right here at the Daytona Raceway
yeah cheers guys I'm parked for a week straight we ain't leaving I don't have a car to leave
oh man I'm in my happy place my two favorite things Disney and Daytona I did them both this
year man freaking awesome we'll have to uh go easy on the beer here I'll show you I'll
show you now before you judge you know I I'm really trying to do my best because I'm only
gonna drink one a day I've only got seven for seven days I can only drink one a day
24 packs well you know the price was right and you gotta stock up because they're gonna
charge an arm and a leg here in the infield I believe it's like 12 or 13 dollar beers for a 12
ounce so you might as well stock up anyway I've got a fridge that runs on propane so as long as
I load it up every night and then let them you know get chilled over let's do the math here 24
times wait they don't have to do the math there's seven of those and there's seven days literally 24
beers a day oh my gosh but I'm gonna have some help here Friday Saturday and Sunday it's just
that looks bad just it looks I shouldn't have shown you that all right let's go walk around
actually I think there's another Tunnel right next to me that I didn't even know about at turn four
right there and you see the Geico tunnel I'm gonna go find out if that's an entry exit for
us campers here in this specific section because I've never been over here I don't know if I don't
have to walk all the way back over but let's uh take a look at the schedule here tomorrow's
February 14th Valentine's Day you guys are probably watching this on Valentine's Day
whatever I'm a NASCAR uh okay not a whole uh although fan Zone does open Wednesday the 15th
that's where we'll start with with my next video the first race we've got the duels duel one and
two is gonna be Thursday night at seven and eight forty five then Friday the Xfinity race the next

Series race on Saturday and then Sunday at 2 30 of course is the Daytona 500. let's oh look at that
Super C yeah let's go uh try to exit the infield I guess I set my beer down I set my beer down all
right let's go Boogity oh there's an Airstream pulling in right now uh something I forgot to
mention because I've never been over here at Geico green I've always been in yellow is that uh you
got this it's a perk right water they got a whole bunch of connections on there so that everybody
can get water pretty much every two or three sites they've got one here in Geico green you
get drinking water unlimited no power no septic no propane but you can have that delivered to your RV
so leaving Geico green Campground there's another tunnel here at turn four well you can't get an RV
down it looks pretty low clearance and by the way I looked at the forecast and the weather
looks amazing This Week in Daytona for the first time ever it might be a beautiful beautiful week
Coca-Cola the official soft drinking NASCAR there's the tunnels and there's a little walkway
here that we can walk right through granted it is a lot less epic than the main tunnel over
there and there's our sign look clearance seven six so not even that many trucks can really fit
through here but it is an option and a nice little walking trail here I just kind of want to go see
what's on the other side so I know you can't even buy any merchandise yet until Wednesday
so I can't even get a magnet so that's why we're gonna go check out and see what's going on on the
other side of turn four well that was easy like a two minute walk from the tunnel there and now
we're out here on International Speedway Drive there's an IHOP over there and a bunch of other
little stores I'm looking for a merch shop see if we can get a magnet all right it says we got
William France and Anne France the founders of NASCAR here in bronze right next to the official
Daytona International Speedway tours and gift shop area oh wow yeah they have a massive Museum
here and they got a current version uh stock car here that you can drive and ride today
would be fun you can buy tickets in here they've also got a restaurant the fourth turn Grill and
the pit shop merchandise yeah lots and lots of NASCAR stuff oh geez the 75th anniversary of
NASCAR tulcan Koozies they've got stickers and pins and patches and there's a magnet

oh how are we running out of room already it's been a busy season guys oh my well um huh okay
it's gonna have to go there for now oh that looks great go ahead and load up the new Koozie here I
actually brought Busch Light and Bud Light for the record but yeah I do have some some Bud Lights too
but oh yeah looking good I got some neighbors here two sides over they're also from Texas
and uh yeah we'll see how long it takes to fill this place up some people may not show up till
Sunday see there's no discount for showing a blade it's just some people's lives are too busy or they
have to work this whole week so they have to skip all the races and then just come attend the 500.
so we may not have anybody show up here until Sunday morning we'll just have to wait and see
ah oh yeah Happy Valentine's Day guys that's right y'all I am fully prepared for the Daytona
500. just waiting for Bud Light to sponsor me no in all seriousness though my buddy Robert says
