When it comes to February Speedweeks on the East Coast of Florida, there are always several guarantees that racers and fans alike can expect: the NASCAR racing action at Daytona International Speedway and the short track battles at New Smyrna Speedway and Volusia Speedway Park will quench the hunger for on-track action for all, the lure of Central Florida will draw “snowbirds” from other, colder, parts of the country, scores of race teams from all corners will flock to Florida to start off the new racing season, and Ocean Properties will affordably accommodate all of those visitors to the Daytona area with a “home away from home” experience that won’t soon be forgotten.
Ocean Properties is proud to offer accommodations for all racers and fans heading into the Daytona and New Smyrna region during Speedweeks, with condominiums and single-family homes available for rental. The crashing waves of the ocean can be right outside your door as you prepare for an exciting week-and-a-half of racing, all while saving money in tough economic times by utilizing a fully-operational kitchen and laundry area in every unit.
“Our ‘home away from home’ accommodations are what really sets us apart from the hotels of the area for racers and fans,” said Kelley DeSoto of Ocean Properties. “You can cook in the fully-furnished kitchens, do laundry and really make Speedweeks a special time with your family, friends or race team.
“Plus, this year we have several new locations in our product inventory that allow us to be a lot more flexible on our number-of-night stays. The race fans that maybe are coming in to town and not staying for the entire Speedweeks schedule, we can accommodate them for just the three or four-day stays around the weekends of racing at Daytona, New Smyrna, Volusia and beyond that meets their budgets and needs.”
The staff at Ocean Properties, the leading vacation rental management company that represents 400 properties in the Daytona Beach and New Smyrna areas, is ready to help racers, fans and snowbirds looking to get out of the chilliest parts of the country get ready for the hot action on the track this February.
“Pricing-wise, our accommodations are very competitive for this area this time of year. We understand the tough times that have been had over the last year or so, so it’s time to get back out and enjoy the races and the warming temperatures in Florida this February.”
Bob Dillner, NASCAR on SPEED TV broadcaster, BDI Racing team owner and co-owner of Speed51.com, the nation's leading asphalt short track racing news website, knows first-hand how beneficial having a comfortable, “home away from home” feel in an Ocean Properties accommodation can be during Speedweeks. In fact, Ocean Properties, for the sixth-straight season, will be the Official Accommodations of Dillner and Speed51.com, the only site that will be providing live at-track coverage of all the New Smyrna Speedweeks action.
“Staying in one of Ocean Properties establishments is honestly one of the highlights of our season,” said Dillner, who will once again be covering the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and more for SPEED TV at Daytona International Speedway and other tracks during the month of February. “We are proud and honored to have such a long-standing relationship with Ocean Properties. Over the years, more and more racers and families that I and the staff at 51 talk with at the track are praising the accommodations that Ocean Properties provided them during Speedweeks and our staff has enjoyed getting good nights’ sleep and many home-cooked meals in their Ocean Properties units, as well.
Ocean Properties will be a presenting sponsor of Speed51.com's Trackside Now feature of all the live, at-track coverage from New Smyrna during Speedweeks, and a supporter of the Speed 51 Radio roadcasts on RaceTalkRadio.com, while many of their staff will be found in the grandstands and pit area during the racing action, as well.
“We’re a family operation and race fans at heart,” added DeSoto. “We enjoy the races and we enjoy the work ethic that not only the drivers, but the teams and the team efforts as well. We enjoy being a part of that and partnering with Speed51.com and Bob Dillner has been a rewarding relationship for us.”
