Senator and Representatives Start Your Engines

February 27th, 2012 by flanews

We are just hours away from the start of the Daytona 500. Rain delays have thrust the race in to prime time for the first time ever. The race comes as state lawmaker debate a bill to make NASCAR Florida’s official state sport. Senate President Mike Haridopolos says he’s a fan and is willing to let his chamber vote on the bill.

“I don’t know if it should be the official sport. It is the place where NASCAR was born. 250-thousand people go to the race and it has a great economic impact. I would have no objection if that comes up for a vote,” Haridopolos.

NASCAR was born out of stock car races on a stretch of Daytona Beach. The Daytona 500 official begin was 1959.
