Any Daytona veteran will tell you that you haven’t truly experienced the World Center of Racing until you’ve loaded up the RV, called up your closest friends and set up camp somewhere in the 180-acre infield. And 29-acre Lake Lloyd is on the infield, giving Daytona the only lake and race view that you can get in an RV. And your vacation doesn’t have to end at the Speedway.
