Miller Photography “So many fans have been inspired by the Michael McDowell underdog story,” MSHFA President George Levy said. “We wanted to do what we can to make sure race fans can see the DAYTONA 500 Champion car this week before the resumption of normal tours on Monday.” The MSHFA is a true wonder of motorsports and serves as the only hall that honors all American motorsports, from cars, motorcycles, airplanes, off-road and powerboats. The museum features hands-on displays, galleries, and significant motorsports vehicles that tell the history of motorsports. For most of each year, access to the MSFHA is included with every Daytona International Speedway tour, which run throughout each day, or as a museum-only ticket. The attraction is open daily nearly year-round except holidays and on select DIS race and event days.

About the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America: The MSHFA is the only hall that honors all American motorsports: cars, motorcycles, airplanes, off road and powerboats. Its mission is to celebrate and instill the American motorsports values of leadership, creativity, originality, teamwork and spirit of competition. Founded by Larry G. Ciancio and Ronald A. Watson, it held its first induction in 1989. Watson spent the next 30 years tirelessly building it into the nation’s premier such hall until his passing in 2019. The original museum in Novi, Mich., relocated to Daytona Beach, Fla., in 2016 and greets more than 100,000 guests a year. MSHFA is operated by the nonprofit Motorsports Museum and Hall of Fame of America Foundation, Inc. |
