What happens at say the Daytona 500 track in between Daytona 500s. I know they have Busch league races and what not but are there so many that it fills up the calendar and is able to help sustain the facility for the entire year? Or is one or two races all many of them ever see per year?

concerts, football games a some of them, car shows, amateur races. They find things to use t for but their big race is where all the money is made.

tours, smaller races, testing (tires/engines/etc) museums,concerts, corporate events, etc

The big bucks are made during the NASCAR weekends but they usually have shite going on year round at the tracks

The Rolex 24, which is a much better race.

Here at Kentucky they have testing(monster energy cup, nationwide, truck and arca), racing experiences(usually Kyle petty and rusty Wallace), people can pay to drive on the track in their own cars a couple times a month, car shows, obstacle courses that take place on speedway property(mud run, color run etc.).

They stay busy. Rarely a weekend where something isn't going on.

I am sitting 1 mile from RIR or the Richmond track right now working and they have all kinds of events there. It is not located in the best area though being so old and being located so close to Richmond...the ghetto!

Daytona has something going on almost every weekend, whether it be a car show or boat races. Atlanta is similar.

I know for a fact, that at Daytona, they are testing on that track 365 days a year(if possible).

Been at the dog track right next to the track, in off season and in season and there were cars going around it, practicing daily. And they also do the racing fantasy camps.

There's a small dirt track in the metro Atlanta area (Dixie Speedway) and even they stay busy most of the year.

I know the Atlanta Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway both hose large music festivals. Imagine Music Festival and EDC Las Vegas, respectively. Fill up pretty much the entire track.
