Racing's North Turn is not only a Featured Food Spot, but a historic location. MD is pointing to where the restaurant is currently located!
The Brickyard
Best Burger in town and in an awesome building just minutes from DIS on International Speedway Blvd. Television's Perrin brothers (Patrick and Scotty) have hyped this local eatery for obvious reasons. Oh, it's the big triangle building in case you didn't know! We've seen NASCAR racer JJ Yeley in there and we know spotter/Mod driver Mike Herman Jr is a fixture when in town.

Our Deck Down Under
THE BEST Seafood around and great atmosphere. Everyone knows and everyone goes! Enjoy peel n' eat Shrimp under the Port Orange Bridge. Fried Seafood platters are the best around. MD's favorite. Why? It's fresh seafood and not a ritzy atmosphere.
78 Dunlawton Avenue
Port Orange, FL
(386) 767-1881
The Garlic
The name says it all. If you are a vampire, do not enter. If you love great Italian food, it's a Daytona/Smyrna area MUST. Enjoy heaping plates of great italian food in a quaint atmosphere.
Try the Spuntitori Italiano, aka... the Big Bowl of Meat. It's a favorite if Racing Electronic's Kevin Hughes. Spotter Frank Bolter went to the place for the first time after seeing the Speedeats video in February and loved the place. "I had the Bocce Ball (giant meatball) and it was amazing," said Frank. "It might be my all-time favorite place to eat on the road."

New Smyrna Beach, FL

Racing's North Turn
This place is a must for racing history buffs. It's not a tourist trap, it really breathes the history of Daytona Beach racing. The food is good, the ocean-front deck is breathtaking, and the racing history is tops. It's a mini Hall of Fame of NASCAR and Daytona Beach Racing. In two-trips during 2010 Speedweeks we saw Cotton Owens dining and Legends Bobby and Donnie Allison eating the restaurant that stands at the original North Turn of the Beach Course.
MD says get the Mad Marion Melt, named after beach racer and racing folk legend Mad Marion MacDonald.
