According to a report in Tuesday’s edition of the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Daytona International Speedway could become a cemetery for, um, die-hard NASCAR fans.
The newspaper reports that legislation is on the table in Florida that would allow construction of an on-site columbarium – which the dictionary defines as a structure of vaults to house urns – at both Daytona International Speedway and Homestead Miami Speedway.
International Speedway Corp. spokesperson Lenny Santiago was quoted as saying "We have a lot of fans that are very, very loyal to NASCAR races and to Daytona in general."
According to the report, if the bill passes, it will become law on July 1.
Personally, I’d rather die than have the Daytona Speedway be my final resting place.
