Graduations held Sunday at Speedway –

More than 1,000 seniors from three different area high schools participated in graduation ceremonies at the Daytona International Speedway.

“This is such a special day for Daytona International Speedway, to be a part of the journey for these graduates,” said track President Chip Wile.

We hope they will always remember the finish line of their high school career, here at Daytona International Speedway,’’ Wile added.

Programming took place on the asphalt skid pad that leads from the exit of turn four to the entrance of pit road and graduates were able to listen to their ceremony inside the track via low frequency radio station 107.9.

Afterward, each vehicle – in a graduation procession – made its way toward the start/finish line where each graduate’s name was read followed by a presentation of their diploma through the driver’s side window before taking a “Victory Lap” around the iconic track.
