Want to feel what it's like to drive Daytona? Ride along with the track president

Ever wondered what it feels like to ride along at Daytona International Speedway?

Here's your chance! And, with a heck of a tour guide we might add!

Track President Frank Kelleher was on hand Tuesday afternoon, giving rides to the media around the historic, 2½-mile trioval, complete with a mock pit stop on pit road. The rides came as part of the lead up to Saturday's running of the Coke Zero Sugar 400, the final regular season race on the Cup Series schedule.

Sports editor Ryan Pritt was in the passenger seat on Tuesday as Kelleher turned a pair of laps, reaching speeds approaching 110 miles per hour. He also described the intricacies of each corner as well as what the drivers feel on the backstretch and coming to the start/finish line.
