Security Rises to the Challenge in Daytona Rising Project
The Daytona International Speedway recently underwent a complete transformation, evolving from a grandstand to the world’s only motorsports stadium. The $400 million renovation, which began in 2013 and was completed in 2016, changed everything about the iconic speedway, from the fan experience to the operational logistics to the facility’s security needs.
In the old facility, many operations areas were mixed with fan areas, as crews’ trucks or vehicles were accessible from fan walkways. In the new facility, fans are let into the stadium through five entrances, or “injectors,” leading them immediately up to level one, with access to social areas, concession stands, restrooms and more.
