Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Rolex 24 at Daytona with Grassroots Motorsports

Heading to the upcoming Rolex 24 At Daytona? Just get yourself in the door with a standard ticket, then hang with us in the Grassroots Motorsports big top. Just look for the giant circus tent in the infield, right next to Lake Lloyd. There is no charge to enjoy our hospitality, and all race fans are welcome.

Meet our editorial staff, see magazine project cars, go on our paddock tour, play slot cars, watch the live race feed and more. Our tent will also host a cash bar.

News Flash! Garth Stein, author of The Art Of Racing In The Rain, will have a book signing in our tent Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Bring your book for Garth to sign! He will also join our GRM Experience ticket holders for dinner on Saturday.

Second News Flash! Daytona Beach artist Perego will turn our crapcan Lincoln race car into an art car. Come to our tent and watch the paint fly from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Saturday. Here’s a quick video from Perego's last outing at Daytona:
